what i meant to say

i pick the day

i pick the place

i pick the flowers for the table

have the phrases memorized so carefully

you walk in smiling and

suddenly my mind's unable

to focus on these things so dear to me

what i meant to say is that i'm in love

i never felt like this before

i could tell that you never had a clue

searching for the things that i meant to say

there are many pleasant things

i can keep my mind distracted

we can laugh and talk till evening

hours away

here it is on the tip of my tongue

i'm so hopelessly attracted

but if i try to tell you the words will stray

what i meant to say is that i'm in love

i never felt like this before

i could tell that you never had a clue

searching for the things that i meant to say

i found more love than i can tell you of

it's a simple honest thing

just to close my eyes and tell you

there'll be one less person in your arms tonight

what i meant to say is that i'm in love

i never felt like this before

he's so good to me and i know that we

had to be together

my baby

what i meant to say is that i'm in love

i never felt like this before

i can tell that you never had a clue

searching for the things that i meant to say
