sunny day i set on my way to look for a place on this earth. my life was a song just 3 minutes long. and
that's about all it was worth. i wandered around. unlost and unfound
unnoticed and misunderstood. each thing that i tried just lessened my pride. guess i didn't do very good. then i saw you lookin' just like i felt. so
i walked up to you and i said. let me sing for you. it's not much to ask after all i've been through. let me sing for you. at least there's still one thing i know that i know how to do. i found you alone
no love of your own. i gave you a shiny new toy. i made you feel good as best as i could. and
i was your rainy-day boy. i held you so near. but
you held this fear. and
felt like you'd been there before. the spell that was cast was too good to last. soon the toy wasn't new any more. so
i asked for some time. and
you gave me a watch. if it's that late already again. let me sing for you. it's not much to ask after all we've been through. let me sing for you. at least there's still one thing i know that i know how to do. now
you love to live
and i love to give. so
tell me what difference it makes. if back in our youth we'd both known the truth
we might have made different mistakes. you need a toy bear with soft
fuzzy hair to lay next to you while you sleep. and
i love you too much to lessen my touch. that's one promise i couldn't keep. and
i'm not man enough to make love to you while you hold me an arm's length away. let me sing for you. it's not much to ask after all we've been through. let me sing for you. at least there's still one thing i know that i know how to do.
