LOTD

My rarely-commenting friend has been peppering my inbox with material these days, and this morning I received my LOTD. Here's what I wrote back when he asked me whether I know the song:

"Do I know it? Only every single word and strain of music to it - can sing it without hearing it. You have no idea what a nostalgia song this one is for me. Brings back junior high dances, which were always SO much fun except for that episode where the guy you liked didn't ask you to dance to this song and you had to go to the bathroom to cry."

Without further glimpses back to those angst-ridden junior high days (does this explain why that's the age group I want to work with?), the LOTD is:

Extreme
More Than Words

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now Ive tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close dont ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldnt make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words
