I'm not worth the paper plate on which you time is held
Nor am I a sturdy one on whom your dreams can be shelved
And I fall so many many times almost as if on cue
But I can love like no one else. This I promise you.

I'm not the charming grandfather clock that always keeps on time
Neither am I the cloud from which you may float up as high
My hand to God I'm not the most clear, I swear this to be true
But I can love you like no one else. This I promise you.

I am not the lark who holds the sweetest sounds
Surely I am not the moon or sun for I've barely left the ground
I am not the key to you wings for I am the bird who never flew
But I can love you like no one else. This I promise you.

My confidence leaves much to be asked for. This much you can see
But I give you my honest word there's another side to me
For although men may come and go and skies switch between gray and blue
I will love you like no one else. This I promise you.

I will write it 'till the ink of the earth has all been used and gone
And still even then I will write it with the rays of the dawn
For though my talents, like these words, are passionate but few
I will love you like no one else. This I promise you.
