I Want to Write You a Song lyrics

I want to write you a song

One as beautiful as you are sweet

With just a hint of pain

For the feeling that I get when you are gone

I want to write you a song

I want to lend you my coat,

One that’s as soft as your cheek,

So when the world is cold,

You will have a hiding place you can go,

I want to lend you my coat

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do

I want to build you a boat,

One that's as strong as you are free,1

So anytime you think that your heart is gonna sink,

You know it won’t,

I want to build you a boat

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do

I want to write you a song

One to make your heart remember me

So any time I'm gone

You can listen to my voice and sing along

I want to write you a song

I want to write you a song
