lyrics

I love how your smile comes softly
like the rain upon the window panes.
Your smile it comes so softly
like the rain like the rain upon the panes

You look at me with those eyes
don’t even know how to describe the way.
Yes you look at me with those eyes
why would I ever want to describe the way?

I take your hand so softly
shaking like a tree blowing in the winter wind.
You hold my hand so softly
shaking like a tree blowing in the winter wind.

Chorus
And oh how we laugh with each other,
we talk about the day.
And sometimes baby we don't need to say a thing,
we just sit in the quiet.

But words bead up on your lips
they freeze and then they blow away.
Yes words bead up on your lips,
they freeze and then they blow away.
My words could thaw the words upon your lips,
my words could thaw the words upon your lips,
my lips could thaw the words upon your lips!
But I’m as scared as you are,
words bead up upon my lips.

And oh how we laugh with each other,
we talk about the day.
But when it comes to the real stuff, baby
we just can't find the right words to say.
I love you is the ice cube on my tongue
but when I open my mouth to let it out
it melts right down...

Your smile it goes so softly
like the rain upon the window panes.
Your smile is goes so softly
like the rain like the rain,
upon the panes.
