I Love You Softly Lyrics by Barnaby Bright

The Longest Day

0

Yesterday morning I woke up
And wrote down your name in a book by my bed
Each night I pray I might wake up
And find that you've drifted from my head
But much to my dismay I see
Your lovely name one hundred times in my book
On every line there in my book, hundreds of times
Trying to balance the depth of my love
With the way that you like me to feel
Maybe someday I can master
The way you pretend what we have isn't real
But much to my dismay I see the look upon your face
As all of my love, clumsy and loud
Swallows you up, watches you drown
And I know that you're hoping I'd sing all my songs just a bit more sweetly
And I know you'd prefer that I give you my heart a bit more discreetly
And I wish I knew how people calmly announce over casual coffee
But no one ever taught me how to say I love you softly
I love you softly
La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
And I know that you're hoping I'd sing all my songs just a bit more sweetly
And I know you'd prefer that I give you my heart a bit more discreetly
And I wish I knew how people calmly announce over casual coffee
But no one ever taught me how to say I love you softly
I love you softly
