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 tonight
And 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 you
I 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 me
I 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]
