I wish I could tell you
that you'r beautiful to me
But you'r beautiful to all of them
even those who can't see

I wish i could tell you
no one will ever love you like i do
But you are so lovable
i would be lyin' to myself if i tried to

I wish i could tell you
that i will give you the stars
But you got them already
in your smile and your eyes

I wish i could tell you
that i would make you happier than ever
But you'r already happy
and the last time i was i can't even remember

These are the things that are keepin' me quiet
letting' me let you go on with your life
I got the blues, my guitar and my writin
you have yourself and your man and his love
