How Can I Tell You
Gary Jules Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 blew away
just blew away
It's always ends up to one thing, honey
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you
Like a sea around a shore
And each night and day i pray
In hope that i might find you
In hope that i might find you
Beause heart's can do no more
Can do no more
It's 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
