I LOVE YOU, WHAT CAN I SAY
(Dick Feller)


Jerry Reed - 1977





You know some call me a poet, he has a way with words they say
Hmm, well why then when I try to tell you the way I feel
Do all the words just slip away
Or they come out sounding like dialogue from a Clark Gable movie
Well frankly my dear
Damn, I just have so much inside that I want you to know about
But it all means that I love you, so what can I say

You bring a tear to the poet's eye
And you are the rhyme I could not write
And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say

You see sometimes, when sometimes words just aren't enough
I mean, what is the word for that funny little shaky feelin' inside, huh
Or that numb warm wonderful confusion when you touch me
A poet no, no, I'm not a poet
But if I were and if I had every word in the world at my command
My poem would still be I love you
I love you, so what can I say

You are the song that I could not sing
And you are the picture I could not paint
And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say
I love you, what can I say, yeah

(Instrumental Break)

And you are love when the words slip away
And I love you, what can I say
I love you, what can I say
I love you, woman......FADE
