No One Else

You say God created you,
and I thank God if that is true,
because gifts like you are hard to find,
with loveliness in and outside.

And I think that we’ll probably,
be just fine in spite of me,
love what’s right and fix what’s wrong,
your eyes are what write these songs.

I sing to myself,
they’re just for me,
and no one else.

I could sleep all day next to you,
take your breath and be closer to,
your silly face your sun soaked skin,
tomorrow’s just a charlatan.

A trick that’s played on worried minds,
but for now we’ll be just fine,
so lay your head right next to mine,
and we’ll pretend we’ve got more time.

Time how it flies,
oh, time how it flies,
it’s just for us,
and no one else.

And when I’m gone I’ll write from where I am,
write things like I wish and then,
send it off to where you are,
though it may still be quite far,

And I’ll just wait while I’m away,
think about you every day,
pretend that you’ll be all mine,
just give me that and I’ll be fine.

And I’ll sing to myself
oh, I’ll sing to myself
these songs for you
and no one else.
