I want to write you a song
One that's beautiful as you are sweet
Just a hint of pain

For the feeling that I get when you are gone
I want to write you a song


I want to lend you my coat
One that's as soft as your cheek
So when the world is cold

You'll have a hiding place you can go
I want to lend you my coat


Everything I need I get from you
Givin' back is all I wanna do


I want to build you a boat
One that's strong as you are free
So any time you think that your heart is gonna sink

You know it won't
I want to build you a boat


Everything I need I get from you
Givin' back is all I wanna do


Everything I need I get from you
Givin' back is all I wanna do


I want to write you a song
One to make your heart remember me
So any time I'm gone

You can listen to my voice and sing along
I want to write you a song
I want to write you a song
