What I Meant To Say

I pick the day, I pick the place
I pick the flowers for the table
Have the phrases memorized so carefully

You walk in smiling and
Suddenly my mind? s unable
To focus on these things so dear to me

What I meant to say is that I? m in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say

There are many pleasant things
I can keep my mind distracted
We can laugh and talk till evening, hours away

Here it is on the tip of my tongue
I? m so hopelessly attracted
But if I try to tell you the words will stray

What I meant to say is that I? m in love
I never felt like this before
I could tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say

I found more love than I can tell you of

It? s a simple honest thing
Just to close my eyes and tell you
There? ll be one less person in your arms tonight

What I meant to say is that I? m in love
I never felt like this before
He? s so good to me and I know that we
Had to be together, my baby

What I meant to say is that I? m in love
I never felt like this before
I can tell that you never had a clue
Searching for the things that I meant to say
