They'Ve Written All My Songs

Every song like ‘Secret Love’ Or ‘Gentle On My Mind’ Say the things meant just for you In words I could not find. I’ve tried so hard to say just how Two rights are never wrong. But, every time, I always find They’ve written all my songs. I tried so many times to put it into rhymes. I want, so much, to tell the world just where my heart belongs. But, the words just pass me by – So, I sit and wonder why – With all the love I feel for you – They’ve written all my songs. Maybe love was never meant to seek us out and find a place that we can call our own and leave the world behind. My words can never say the things that you’ve known all along. So, my heart just cries when I realize They’ve written all my songs. I tried so many times to put it into rhymes. I want, so much, to tell the world just where my heart belongs. But, the words just pass me by – So, I sit and wonder why – With all the love I feel for you – They’ve written all my songs.
