Heaven Give Me Words - Bossa Nova Version

Take these words they come out wrong
They won't express this whole emotional thing
If you could see inside my mind
You'd know the love I feel this passionate thing
You step into a mile of tower
I feel your touch on my shoulder
You turn my mind right over
Like a child before he learns to speak
I turn to stone
I turn to stone
Heaven give me words to tell you
How I am feeling
What I am needing
Heaven let this message reach you
This desperation
Will stop my heart from beating
I won't be here
I'll die if I don't tell you just how I feel
I'll make you truly understand
Why can't a man can't live with feelings of steel
I used to be so self contained
When I thought about love
A conversation heart to heart
I must confess this whole emotional thing
Before you think that I'm a fool
There's a flame that burns here
It's a feeling that's so rare
It's my nightmare when I go to speak
I turn to stone
I turn to stone
Heaven give me words to tell you
How I am feeling
What I am needing
Heaven let this message reach you
This desperation
Will stop my heart from beating
Heaven give me words
Heaven give me pride
Heaven let this message reach you
You've seen a heart worn on my sleeve
I must express this whole emotional thing
Please be a witness to my dreams
Or I'll wake up and say how can this be real
Heaven give me words to tell you
How I am feeling
What I am needing
Heaven let this message reach you
This desperation
Will stop my heart from beating
Heaven give me words
Heaven give me pride
Heaven let this message reach you
