To Give You a Song

I would like to give you a song. Not the one that goes you must never leave me baby And I hate to see you go. Not the one with a refrain About your loving arms again, So I'll celebrate your beauty. But the words are hard to find. They've been used a hundred times And somehow don't belong. Still I would like to give you a song. I would like to give you a song. Not the kind baby you must take me to the sea, I know where the ocean lies. I don't want to tell you that my heart belongs to Daddy, It is you who are my prize. Maybe I should sing of how your love thrills me here and now. That you are, when you are there, the way you are. But the clichés have their way. Everything I try to say seems wrong. Still I would like to give you a song.
