Your Song
Jason Manns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in the city of a million songs
Looking for the one that's right
Sing it to my girl when I see her again
As the evening turns to night
She'll curl up beside me,
Right beside me as I sing
She'll know she's got me,
She'll know that she's my everything
Word's don't always come out right
Lord I pray they do tonight

The song I'm looking for needs so much
More than melody
I need to tell her, just how when I'm with her
How every move is part of me
Words don't always come out right
I pray they do tonight

Even in the city of a million songs
I still couldn't find the one
I couldn't find it, just had to write it
But its not for everyone, oh no no




It's for you, only you
Oh, only you
