Words
Anthony David/Indie.Arie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe that heaven must be like this
Ray of sunshine kissed upon your skin
Just say you love me, make my day go good
Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

[Chorus]
Can't tell you nothin' you ain't already heard
No matter what I say, it's nothin' but words
Just let me prove to you what I know is real
Let me express to you the way that I feel

I believe that love is synonymous
With heaven, such a sensual bliss
The way you touch me makes this life so good
A reward at the end of the long road

[Chorus]

Fairy tales can be real if you just believe
Got my mind made, I don't plan to leave
'cause you were meant for me, simple that may be
Why be complex, lovin' you is so easy

[Chorus: x2]

Can't tell you nothin' I ain't already heard
No matter what I say it's nothin' but words




Just let me prove to you what I know is real
Let me express to you the way that I feel

Please never remove this video. My dad is the homeless man and he passed away a few years back. This video makes me feel like he’s still here.

It's a shame that such an awesome song did not get much air play. Anthony David and India Arie compliment each other very well. This is a must to be downloaded.

@Wozniacki its more like a crime. I do appreciate you for recognizing the atrocity that has occurred. Peace to you and yours
