I am sitting here doing The Sunday Times crossword puzzle Somehow the words won't come I am staring at squares And my eyes seldom focus And my mind's feeling faintly numb
He spoke a word of flesh and blood Flesh and blood that bled and died Bled and died just to be heard How could you not hear this word? Why will you not hear this word?
More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away? Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying, "I love you."
And I forgot the next verse. Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse. The lyric sheets - so hard to find. What are the words? Oh, never mind Alone, alone, hello, oh no...
Poets often use many words To say a simple thing It takes thought and time and rhyme To make a poem sing With music and words I've been playing For you I have written a song To be sure that you know what I'm saying I'll translate as I go along: Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars Let me see what life is like On Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, darling, kiss me.

And my mind's feeling faintly numb

You are so graceful
Have you wings?
You have a face full of nice things

Thou swell, thou witty
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me, pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
(Rodgers/Hart, "Thou Swell")

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along:
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what life is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.
(Bart Howard)

Instead of getting them off my chest
To let em rest

I didn't mean a word I said
And if I hurt you, I'm sorry

The words should explain
But the words won't come
"I Love You," which was made famous in a cover by The People, but was originally by The Zombies
You say you're not being nostalgic.
Then give me another word for it,
You who are so good with words,
And with keeping things vague.
