THESE WORDS

Verse 1
These words are all I have
To hold you near and dear
To tell you all my worries
Show you all my fear
Sunny skies turned dull and gray
The day you went away
Not knowing where you are.
It's hard to live this way

Chorus
These words they won't undo
The feelings that I knew
Its been awhile some mem'ries fade
But the hurt still feels brand new
I could forget my old sorrows
Reach out for bright tomorrows
I still want to say I love you
But these words will have to do

Verse 2
These words are all I have
I've got nothing else to give
At times I dream of what ifs
But I've got my life to live
I don't know about the future
Can only speak about the past
The world was ours to hold back then
I thought we had love to last

Bridge
We used to feel hot passion
Lover's secrets in our hearts
I still can't believe
That you wanted us to part

Verse 3

These words are all I have
To ask you what went wrong
I never saw it coming
Now I sing this sad love song
Maybe if you had shown me
Just what I couldn't see
Life might have worked differently
And you'd still be here with me

Chorus
These words they won't undo
The feelings that I knew
Its been awhile some mem'ries fade
But the hurt still feels brand new
I could forget my old sorrows
Reach out for bright tomorrows
I still want to say I love you
But these words will have to do
