the song you sing

black lines white pages

are waiting to be filled in

the right notes arranged

are only a beginning

into the silence

your spirit breathes

strike up the chorus

and sing to me

i'm just words and melody

'til you're here with me

an unfinished symphony

'til you breathe in me

all the parts yet incomplete

'til you move in me

oh

let me be the song you sing

i have tried to make a life

but i cannot create it

soaring high in solo flight

and i cannot sustain it

voice strains chords ring out of tune

there's no music without you

oh

i'm just words and melody

'til you hear with me

an unfinished symphony

'til you breathe in me

all the parts yet incomplete

'til you move in me

oh

let me be the song

let me be the song you sing

i can do nothing without you

how i've tried it on my own

i have fought this all my life but

now i feel it now i know

i'm just words and melody

'til you're here with me

an unfinished symphony

'til you breathe in me

all the parts yet incomplete

'til you move in me

oh

let me be the song you sing

let me be the song you sing

let me be the song you sing

you sing

i'm just words and melody

let me be the song you sing
