Lyrics The Songwriter - Kenneth An

She asked me to write her a song

She asked me to write her a song
She said, "Make it so sweet and so pure
When walking back home I can sing along
Dancing and feeling secure"
But she doesn't know that for years
I've wrote hundreds of songs about her
A thousand more stories of us, so clear
I think of one every hour
How can I show her a song is not enough?

If I could just hold her, my life would be better
The world is so beautiful when we're together
If I were much bolder then time would be gentle tonight
But I'm terrified
But I'm terrified

Forty-one seasons ago
I felt something like never before
And everyday I had a chance to show
That what we have's just a bit more
I try to imagine where we might be
If I didn't fight with the flow
Would we be running away from here
Or drifting apart as we go?

If I could just hold her, my life would be better
The world is so beautiful when we're together
If I were much bolder then time would be gentle tonight
I wouldn't be hiding behind thousand letters
When dancing with her would be my greatest treasure
If I were much younger then time would be gentle tonight
But I'm terrified

I'm terrified that someday she dares close her eyes
And feel my heart beating with words in disguise
The touch of my lips and the shape of my tongue
She pictures them all as she follows along
And realize

She asked me to write her a song
She said, "Make it so sweet and so pure"

If I could just hold her, my life would be better
The world is so beautiful when we're together
If I were much bolder then time would be gentle tonight
I wouldn't be hiding behind thousand letters
When dancing with her would be my greatest treasure
If I were much younger then time would be slower tonight
But I'm terrified (Ah)
I'm terrified

She asked me to write her a song
She said, "Make it so sweet and so pure"
But maybe it's sweeter to say that I'm yours
