How Can I
Cats and dinosaurs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I tell you
That I love you
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
But my words just blow away
Just blow away

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say

Wherever I am girl
I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you
But I look and you're not there

Whoever I'm with
I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you
And I'm sad that you can't hear
Sad that you can't hear

It always ends up to one thing, honey
When I look and you're not there

I need to know you
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you
Like a sea around a shore

Each night and day I pray
In hope that I might find you
In hope that I might find you
Because heart's can do no more
Can do no more

It always ends up to one thing, honey
Still I kneel upon the floor

How can I tell you
That I love you
I love you
But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you





It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
