How You Showed Me Love
I might have been a child but it wasn't until
I knew how to dream that I felt real
All the good things, and the bad
Helping me smile when I was shy
I was alive from the vibes you gave me
Taking your time
so I could see the truth.
How you showed me love
I remember everything you did
And every face you played
Affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day
I might have been alone, and never found
Talking to a wall, or I coulda drowned
Weighing up blame
Stirring up hate, shouting you down
But you kept giving me time
Watching my feet, making drum beats
When i fall, i don't frown
How you showed me love
I remember everything you did
And every face you played
affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day
oh, try, try, try again
The look in your eyes as you waited for me
Taking your time, so I could see the truth.
How you showed me love
I remember everything you did
And every face you played
affects the way I play
I learnt to live your way
Every day, Every day
