I've been tryin to write a song about you
I've been trying here but no such luck
And I've been tryin to write that describes just how much
I need you tonightAnd I've been working at this song for ages
I wanted to make sure it came out right
I hope that it's just how things really are here
And, how i am, feeling for youI wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
[x2]So first I started with this simple beat and
I even added a piano tune
But then I had to think of words that describe
The things I really wanna sing to you (oh)
So now i'm working on this melody and
I think that I could add a harmony
I just want for this song to come together
Then maybe you'd see what you mean to meI wanna write
The soundtrack to your life
And live it with you (with you)
[x4]So baby just remember
As this song hits your ears
I'm tryin to turn the way I feel for you
Into something that you can hear
But how can words of music
Explain what love is
Nothing I could ever sing would do it justice
And I don't know where to start
I just want you to hear the song in my heart (oh)I wanna write
The soundtrack to you life
And live it with you (with you)
[x4]
