lyrics

In a picture window on the thoroughfare I saw your flowers in a vase
I thought I’d like to pick them up as a surprise to see the smile on your face
As you tend to them with water I will look across the room and ask myself
How did I ever find a ladder tall enough to pull you off the top shelf?

And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt
And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down
And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet
And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet

On the day that I first see you will I stand upon an unsuspecting stage
I bet I’ll never see you coming and to see you I’ll believe that day in fate
I’ll be off that day in flight and for the first time I’ll be frightened I may crash
That I may never sing this song for you and let you know with you this role is cast

And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt
And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down
And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet
And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet

Oh when will I find you
I hope it’s somtime soon
And when I find you
I know my heart will beat this tune
How I find you
If I knew I’d grease the gears
So hurry along
We’ve wasted oh so many years

And I need you here right now to hold and to love
I’ve grown as far as I can all alone
And I’m ready to take care of you
To hold your heart if ever you may fall

And I’ll continue singing all these love songs so that my voice will make you melt
And I will practice making dinner so I can cheer you up, oh, when you’re down
And I will never lie so I can be a rock beneath your weary worried feet
And I’ll be all these things for you and all that’s left is for us to meet

Oh when will I find you
I hope it’s somtime soon
And when I find you
I know my heart will beat this tune
How I find you
If I knew I’d grease the gears
So hurry along
We’ve wasted oh so many years
So hurry along, we've wasted oh so many years
