Hear My Voice

Describe the way life was meant to be

Cuz every day just melts away

To anything

 

It’s been a while since I think I’ve seen

The way I saw before the flaw

I’ve come to be

 

Another cloud, another Christmas tree

Another chance gone by, another teardrop cry

For anything

 

And looking back at how it used to be

Can’t help but wonder why, you and I

Turned out to be

 

But hear my voice

Take the words I sing

Lift the notes up high

Pretend you want to try

To be with me

 

Yes, hear my voice

Hear these songs I sing

Try to understand

You’ll never see the man

You want in me

 

So…

 

Describe the way life was meant to be

Cuz I don’t want to tip toe dance

Through everything

 

It’s been so long since I think I’ve seen

The smile upon your eyes, blue crystal skies

And memories

 

And how it hurts to think the things I think

Another word not said, another beat gone dead

Yeah little things

 

And thinking back on how it used to be

Well I don’t want to tip toe dance

Through everything

 

So hear my voice

Hear these words I sing

Cuz I don’t want

To tip toe dance

Through everything

 

Oh hear my voice

And hear the songs I sing
