Verse:

                                              
If I could say the things I feel
                 
It wouldn’t be the same
                      
Some things are not spoken of
                   
Some things have no name
                        
And though the words come hard to me
                     
I’ll say them just for you
                    
For this is something rare for me
                  (pause)
This feeling is so new

Chorus:
                             
You see I love the way you love me
                     
Love the way you smile at me 
                               --
I love the way we live this life were in

Verse: (do verse chords)
Long ago I hear the song that lover sing to me 
Through the day with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I love the song 
But I never learn it through ah
But since the day you came along I’ve saved it just for you

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:
                    
I don’t believe in magic 
                 
But I do believe in you
                    
And when you say you believe in me 
                hold
There so much magic
 hold
 I can do

Verse: (do verse chords)

Now you see me 
Now you don’t
Watch me dive below 
Deep down in your love lake
Were sweet fish come and go
I might sink and I might drown
But death don’t mean a thing
Coz life continue right or wrong
                 
When I play this birthday song 
                pause
I’ve learned form you
                   
And you can’t even sing
