More Than Words

Saying “I love you”

ˈseɪɪŋ ˈaɪ ˈlʌv ˈju

is not the words

ˈɪz ˈnɑt ðə ˈwɝdz

I want to hear from you.

ˈaɪ ˈwɑnt ˈtʰu ˈhɪr frəm ˈju ‖

It’s not that I want you

ˈɪts ˈnɑt ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ ˈwɑnt ˈju

Not to say

ˈnɑt ˈtʰu ˈseɪ

but if you only knew

ˈbʌt ˈɪf ˈju ˈoʊnlɪ ˈnu

How easy

ˈhaʊ ˈizɪ

It would be to

ˈɪt wəd ˈbi ˈtʰu

show me how you feel.

ˈʃoʊ ˈmi ˈhaʊ ˈju ˈfiɫ ‖

More than words

ˈmɔr ˈðæn ˈwɝdz

is all you have to do

ˈɪz ˈɑɫ ˈju ˈhæf tə ˈdu

to make it real

ˈtʰu ˈmeɪk ˈɪt ˈriəɫ

Then you wouldn’t

ˈðɛn ˈju ˈwʊdn̩t

have to say

ˈhæf tə ˈseɪ

that you love me

ˈðæt ˈju ˈlʌv ˈmi

cause I’d already know

ˈkʰɑz ˈaɪd ɑɫˈrɛɾɪ ˈnoʊ

What would you do,

ˈwɑt ˈwʊd ˈju ˈdu |

If my heart

ˈɪf ˈmaɪ ˈhɑrt

was torn in two?

ˈwəz ˈtʰɔrn ˈɪn ˈtʰu ‖

More than words

ˈmɔr ˈðæn ˈwɝdz

to show you feel

ˈtʰu ˈʃoʊ ˈju ˈfiɫ

that your love

ˈðæt ˈjɔr ˈlʌv

for me is real.

ˈfɔr ˈmi ˈɪz ˈriəɫ ‖

What would you say,

ˈwɑt ˈwʊd ˈju ˈseɪ |

If I took

ˈɪf ˈaɪ ˈtʰʊk

those words away?

ˈðoʊz ˈwɝdz əˈweɪ ‖

Then you couldn’t

ˈðɛn ˈju ˈkʰʊdn̩t

make things new,

ˈmeɪk ˈθɪŋz ˈnu |

Just by saying

ˈdʒʌst ˈbaɪ ˈseɪɪŋ

“I love you”

ˈaɪ ˈlʌv ˈju

More than words.

ˈmɔr ˈðæn ˈwɝdz ‖

Now that I’ve tried to

ˈnaʊ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪv ˈtraɪd ˈtʰu

talk to you

ˈtʰɑk tə ˈju

and make you

ˈænd ˈmeɪk ˈju

understand.

ˌʌndɚˈstænd ‖

All you have to do is

ˈɑɫ ˈju ˈhæf tə ˈdu ˈɪz

close your eyes

ˈkloʊz ˈjɔr ˈaɪz

and just reach out

ənd ˈdʒʌst ˈritʃ ˈaʊt

your hands

ˈjɔr ˈhændz

And touch me,

ənd ˈtʰʌtʃ ˈmi |

hold me close

ˈhoʊɫd ˈmi ˈkloʊz

don’t ever let me go.

ˈdoʊnt ˈɛvɚ ˈlɛt ˈmi ˈɡoʊ ‖

More than words

ˈmɔr ˈðæn ˈwɝdz

is all I ever

ˈɪz ˈɑɫ ˈaɪ ˈɛvɚ

needed you to show.

ˈniɾəd ˈju ˈtʰu ˈʃoʊ ‖

Then you wouldn’t

ˈðɛn ˈju ˈwʊdn̩t

have to say

ˈhæf tə ˈseɪ

that you love me

ˈðæt ˈju ˈlʌv ˈmi

cause I’d already know

ˈkʰɑz ˈaɪd ɑɫˈrɛɾɪ ˈnoʊ

What would you do,

ˈwɑt ˈwʊd ˈju ˈdu |

if my heart

ˈɪf ˈmaɪ ˈhɑrt

was torn in two?

ˈwəz ˈtʰɔrn ˈɪn ˈtʰu ‖

More than words

ˈmɔr ˈðæn ˈwɝdz

to show you feel

ˈtʰu ˈʃoʊ ˈju ˈfiɫ

that your love

ˈðæt ˈjɔr ˈlʌv

for me is real.

ˈfɔr ˈmi ˈɪz ˈriəɫ ‖

What would you say

ˈwɑt ˈwʊd ˈju ˈseɪ

if I took

ˈɪf ˈaɪ ˈtʰʊk

those words away?

ˈðoʊz ˈwɝdz əˈweɪ ‖

Then you couldn’t

ˈðɛn ˈju ˈkʰʊdn̩t

make things new,

ˈmeɪk ˈθɪŋz ˈnu |

just by saying I love you.
