i_just_dont_know_the_wordsI Just Don't Know The Words
How can I say how much
you mean to me
just the thought of you
fills me with such joy
and peace that words fail me
I just don't know the words
to tell you don't know
how to explain just
what you mean to me
I can only say
that I love you
and hope that you understand
everything else I left unsaid
Donna when I see you
I feel at peace in the world
like I found that part
that I've been missing
from my heart
from my soul
I just don't know the words
to say to you don't know
how to explain just
what you mean to me
I can only say
that I love you
and hope that you understand
everything else I left unsaid
you're my best friend
who believes in me
who sees my faults
and gently corrects them
never putting me down
your smile brightens
my days and shines
in my darkest night
I see you in my dreams
my lady Donna
so beautiful so precious
to me unlike any others
I love you Donna
I just don't know the words
to say to you don't know
how to explain just
what you mean to mean
I can only say
that I love you
and hope that you understand
everything that I left unsaid
