You Get Through To Me

Through to Me (duet)

(Verse)
I don't know just what you do to me;
I don't know just what to do.
I can't say how you get through to me; 
I can see your words are true.
Touch my heart; now take a piece of it.
Take my heart; it's here for you.
Can’t you see the sweet release I get?
Yeah, I'm doing this for you.

(Bridge)
And I can't say;
no, I can't say.
Please say you'll stay;
oh, won't you stay?
I love your way -
a better day
when I'm with you this way.

(Verse)
In your eyes, I see the love you feel;
in your eyes, I see a light.
Want to hold you close, I know it's real;
want to stay with you tonight.
I don't know just what you do to me,
but I know just what to do.
Want to show how you get through to me;
want to spend the night with you.

(Bridge)
And I can't say;
no, I can't say.
Please say you'll stay;
oh, won't you stay?
I love your way -
a better day
when I'm with you this way.

(Chorus)
I want to show you love;
give you what you're dreaming of, 
because you're in my soul,
and I'll never let you go.
Why don't you take the wheel;
I want to show you how I feel
no matter where we go,
'cause I love you so.

(End Verse)
I don’t know just what you do to me,
but I know how you get through.
Now, I know just what to do with me -
want to spend (my life/the night) with you.



*Pardon if this seems an awkward attempt at writing lyrics. I just thought I'd post something I wrote years ago and see what kind of feedback it received. Thank you for your patience :)

Love your duet, I can hear this being sung as I read it. Not sure if you have a melody but the way you have this written, the rhythm is smooth and the lines are perfectly set up which would make it an easy set of lyrics to compose music to. Beautifully done.

Big smiles here <3 Thank you, Chris :) It does have a melody, but it would be easy enough to create something new or add music to. It's a very simple melody, as you might imagine, but one that works for me when I'm singing to myself ;)

Not sure I can either ;) What I am certain of is that your writing is like a melody in the way that it moves the reader each and every time you put pen to paper, or so it would seem thus far :)
