Something About You

There’s something about you I don’t know what it is /
the way that you walk or the way that you give / 
yourself to others without pretense for gain.  
There’s something about you that’s sweeter than rain.  
                            
                                Refrain:
There’s something about you that makes me feel right / 
from dawns early morning ‘till late in the night.  
It’s a deep inner beauty I can see in your eyes / 
there’s something about you that lifts me up high.

There’s a look in your face every time you return / 
to where I am waiting in hopes I might learn / 
one more secret about you and all of your dreams / 
there’s something about you like air that I breath.  
     
                     (Repeat Refrain)

I could go on forever with words to this song / 
because whatever you have keeps me moving along / 
like a ship on the ocean or a train on the rail / 
with whatever you’ve got there’s no way I can fail. 
                     
          (Repeat Refrain 2 Times to Ending)
