What to Say Lyrics

You were there when I fell through the sky for the first time

Golden mountains and tiger-striped eyes, warm as summer rising

Oh, and somehow you knew what to say to get my wheels turnin'

Somehow you knew what to say to start my heart burnin' for your love

Sure 'nuff. Somehow you must've known just what to say

So open your heart to the light.

Let the dark part of me collide with the dark part of you tonight

And somehow I'll know what to say to put your mind at ease

Yes, and somehow I'll know what to say to make your life a breeze

From here on out, things can be just that easy

We can love at a distance… or put up resistance.

My fate likes to tease me.

Or, we can cast doubt aside and hold on for the ride of lives

The ride of our lives, Baby… listen.

Love is an ocean where the waves never break on the shore, but

stay in perpetual motion…So we never know just what's in store -

But my secret devotion for the pain sacred love must endure

And when the words get in the way, somehow we'll always know just what to say

I'm begging you please understand.

After all, I am only a man…with my heart in the palm of my hand

And somehow you know what to say to keep me thinkin' about you

And I'm counting the moments each day that I spend without you by my side

My oh my. Somehow you always know just what to say

what to say, what to say..

what to say.
