I wrote my words in sand but the waves removed all trace,
Now I fear I'll never see that smile upon your face.
I wrote my words in air and to the ground they fail like leaves,
dancing around your feet and getting crushed beneath.
I wrote my words in stone too heavy to give to you ,
so I abandon the attempt and began my task anew.
I want to tell you something, I need to tell you everything
I need to find a way to say what I have to say.
My heart will never rest if I don't pass this test ,
and tell you how I feel so you know my love is real.
I wrote my words in light so that you might see,
but you never looked that way and they vanished quickly .
I wrote my words in snow but the spring sun warmed the day ,
and all my loving words melted and faded away .
I'll never reach your heart with my written words,
so I whisper " I love you" and your smile tells me you heard.
I want to tell you something, I need to tell you everything,
I need to find a way to say what I have to say .
My heart will never rest if I don't pass this test ,
and tell you how I feel so you know my love is real .
My heart has no unrest because I passed this test,
And told you how I feel And you know my love is real.
