WHEN I SING ABOUT YOU
>From the film "Honkytonk Man" (1982)
(DeWayne Blackwell)


Clint Eastwood (Film Soundtrack) - 1982





Telephone, but I can't dial it
Hands are shaking
I'll have to file it away
What I was wantin' to say

I love you, you'd think I could say it
Though it's true
I can't even pray it at night
Just never comes out right

But when I sing about you
Every word is at my command
My guitar comes alive in my hand
When I sing about you

When I sing about you
Every note seems to be right on key
Oh, it all sounds so right to me
When I sing about you

I wrote it down, but I can't send it
It's all wrong
So I'll have to mend it again
How many times has it been

I love you, you'd think I could show it
Though it's true
You'll never know that I care
It really doesn't seem fair

But when I sing about you
Every word is at my command
My guitar comes alive in my hand
When I sing about you

When I sing about you
Every note seems to be right on key
Oh, it all sounds so right to me
When I sing about you

Oh, it all sounds so right to me
When I sing about you
