lyrics

I've been through some hard
But I'm feeling so much better
And I'm standing in your yard
I could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be much perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
The sun shines brightly on my soul
But there's something missing
Part of you part of the whole
I cried a million tears
Fill an ocean with my sorrow
And if I had my way
I'd be up to see you tomorrow
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
I feel like writing a song
And if I could win your heart
I never thought it'd take so awful long
And I wish upon a star
Hope that we could get together
I'll be standing in your yard
We could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
