Description
My fingers are trembling a little - it's as if I'm not touching strings, but someone's soul. The words are simple, the notes are even simpler, but between them is such silence that you can hear everything: the fear of being banal, the shyness of confession, the tenderness that doesn't ask for applause. Love here doesn't shout or demand, it just sits beside you when the chords don't come together and your voice fails. The one who doesn't get offended by silence and smiles when you try to hit the first note again. The music turned out like morning light - without pretension, without filters, a little shy about its openness. It's just a song written instead of a thousand unspoken words.
Lyrics and translation
Original
When these hands won't strum and I can't find the chords, and my voice don't wanna sing.
When my feet say dance but I can't find the floor, will you just laugh if you're with me?
Will your eyes catch mine then linger too long, will you still let me bring you tea?
When your mind starts to wander, can I come along?
Is there some place that you'd rather be?
I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it.
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue.
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you. I did the only thing I know how to do.
I wrote you a song.
I wrote you a song.
If I brought you flowers in a couple of days, the petals would all fall away.
To give you forever, for worse or for better, something that won't ever fade.
I wrote you a song, now that it's done, it's simple what I wanna say.
This scribbled love letter, we wrote it together, I promise my heart's on the -page.
-I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it.
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue.
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you. I did the only thing I know how to do.
I wrote you a song.
I wrote you a song.
I wrote you a song, now that it's done, it's simple what I wanna say.
I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it.
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue.
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you. I did the only thing I know how to do.
I wrote you a song.
I wrote you a song.
I wrote you a song.
