The very first time I saw your face
You just turned and walked away from me
And I just stared and wondered where you’re going to
But I know now

I’m just trying to find
The words to make you mine
I’ll ask you once – you tell me twice
You make it work and I’ll make it right

Bless those little words you say to me
Made me drop the barriers I had in front of me
And if you asked me, if I had a chance

I’ve just tried to find
The words to make you mine
If you asked me once – would you tell me twice?
You make it work, make it right

No pain, no hate, no strain, no friction
It’s just you and me and the flowers and trees
You and me and the birds and bees
You and me

Never could make it count ‘til now
But now I’m speaking in a word
Now I’m speaking in a voice
Now I shout it from the rooftops
The very time you take

I’m just trying to find
The words to make you mine
If I asked you once would you tell me twice?
Make it work, could you make it right?

I’ve just tried to find
Those words to make it mine
If I asked you once would you tell me twice?
Make it work, could you make it right?

The very first time I saw your face
You just turned and walked away from me
And I just stared and wondered where you’re going to
But I know now...
