From the recording Light of Day
TK
–I wrote this song for two friends who were getting married. I’d agreed to play at the wedding, but for the life of me I couldn’t decide on a song. Then one Sunday morning, not long before their big day, I woke up and realized I hadn’t found the right song because I had to write their song, and suddenly there it was. I sat down and wrote the whole thing in my bathrobe, singing and crying. I wish they all came like this.
Lyrics
If I told the world what you mean to me now
I might need forever to get all the words out
The day could be over, the seasons could change
And I’d just be started, so how do I say
I love you… like I never loved before
I love you… and I could not love you more
If I started to paint you the picture of us
That’s here in my heart, it would never be done
I don’t know the colors, I don’t own the brush
To show how I could need anybody this much
I love you… like I never loved before
I love you… and I could not love you more
And if I knew the prayer I would pray it tonight
Lord please teach me the way to do this thing right
I don’t know the song, I can’t name the dance
That moves in my heart when you reach for my hand
When I wake up beside you and know this is real
And not just a dream that the sun came to steal
I love you… like I never loved before
I love you… and I could not love you more
