Life just isn't long enough for me to take the time To say what I want to say to you, baby girl, and make it rhyme I got love songs by the dozens, girl, dancin' in my head The melodies flow sweet and free, but the words have all been said Oh, the music flows like a river, girl, when I turn my thoughts to you The melody pours out of me, and it's fresh as morning dew And my guitar sings with magic strings till the song comes bursting through But the words, ah, the words, Lord, the words don't come easy Oh, the words just don't come easy, girl, I wish I knew a way To find the words that fit the song that says what I want to say So until I find the secret, girl, this song will have to do Cause they just ain't made, the words that say the way that I love you Oh, the music flows like a river, girl, when I turn my thoughts to you The melody pours out of me, and it's fresh as morning dew And my guitar sings with magic strings till the song comes bursting through But the words, ah, the words, Lord, the words don't come easy Mmm, mmm, mmm Oh, the music flows like a river, girl, when I turn my thoughts to you The melody pours out of me, and it's fresh as morning dew And my guitar sings with magic strings till the song comes bursting through But the words, ah, the words, Lord, the words don't come easy *
