lyrics

Oh, a thousand perfect words could never
Set the fire alight
Send shivers like the night
Tell the story quite right

I’m not sure you’ll remember
But I met you as a breeze
I brushed your cheeks with kisses
From a distant misty sea

And you may not recall it
But you answered as a stream
You trickled softly, carried off the
Sorrows I had seen

But a thousand perfect words could never
Set the fire alight
Send shivers like the night
Tell the story quite right

I knew then if you’d let me
I could love you like a dream
A singing string of fairy lights
To frame each sight you see

And I don’t know how it’s sounding
But I mean this as a song
To say that I am smitten still
Even if I say it wrong

Because a thousand perfect words could never
Set the fire alight
Send shivers like the night
Tell the story quite right
