The Words (Don'T Come Easy)

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 mornin' dew
And my guitar sings with magic strings '
Til a song comes bustin' 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 mornin' dew
And my guitar sings with magic strings '
Til a song comes bustin' through
But the words, ah, the words
Lord, the words don't come easy

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 mornin' dew
And my guitar sings with magic strings '
Til a song comes bustin' through
But the words, ah, the words
Lord, the words don't come easy
