The Rhythm of Your Song

Since love came along, the ghost of a song
constantly haunts my soul.
The rhythm is sweet, but words incomplete
leave the story untold.
The words try to say, with me you'll stay
until forever is gone.
Expressions unheard leave my senses stirred
by the rhythm of your song.

The rhythm of your song
is sweet and oh, so strong.
It's no miracle the words are never heard.
Somewhere between the beat
and the words, still incomplete,
there's a feeling that forgives the missing words.

The rhythm is there, it seems so unfair
for the words to hide from the beat.
My heart holds a fear I'll never hear
your words make the song complete.
Love will endure and, one day I'm sure
the phrases will come along
to join with the beat and render complete
the meaning of your song.

The rhythm of your song
is sweet and oh, so strong.
It's no miracle the words are never heard.
Somewhere between the beat
and the words, still incomplete,
there's a feeling that forgives the missing word
