It's just something I do
When I write these words to you

How I say them, and what I mean
Is only clear to me and you

I have written fairy tales
And poems of love and chance
Stories that sing, stories that dance
Telling the story of our romance

I reach out for inspiration
For a verse or two
And I know with each writing
I will spell out something
That's important to you...

Yes...I look to the heavens
And around my neighborhood
To write the right words to you
Something kind, something good

I don't know how the words come to me
They just come and they go
But hopefully with this writing
They will find a place with you

And it's for that reason
I continue to write
Some words I know
Come out just right

And if I brightened your day a bit
Then I have another day now
I won't forget

Words I say
Are words I give away
For you to have...
For you to keep

And as for my writing...

It's not just something I do...
