lyrics

I want to sing you a gentle song
To chase all our sorrows away
A song just for us to capture the moment
A song for the things we can’t say
I want to sing you a gentle song
In the night when there’s no one to hear
Just you and me and the words in the air
The tune floating up to our ears

I don’t want to make you cry
‘Cause we’ve had enough tears before
And they’ll come back again
I don’t need to make you laugh
‘Cause there’s all the time in the world
For laughter

A moment like this is so hard to find
It’s a feeling that’s often ignored
A moment of peace that is taken for granted
The calm that comes with the storm
Tomorrow will be just another day
We’ll fight the same battles again
And the world going ‘round makes it hard to remember
The song that you hear in the wind

You don’t need to say a word
Or try to do anything
To make it better
It’s enough that we are here
Sometimes that’s all that we need
Just listen

I want to sing you a gentle song
To chase all our sorrows away
A song just for us to capture the moment
A song for the things we can’t say
I want to sing you a gentle song
In the night when there’s no one to hear
Just you and me and the words in the air
The tune floating up to our ears
