Deeper Than the Words I Say

Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh, yeah Mmm, come closer [Verse 1] You left your teacup by the window A little ring upon the wood I traced the shape and thought of your hands And how one touch can make things good The hallway holds your quiet footsteps The curtains move where you once stood I never knew a heart could miss you And still believe it always should [Pre-Chorus] If I could fold this room around us Keep the morning from coming through I would spend every breath discovering All the ways I belong to you [Chorus] I love you deeply Deeper than the words I say Deeper than the river running Past the house at break of day I need you near me Like the earth needs summer rain Every part of me remembers Your name, your touch, your face [Verse 2] Your photograph is on the bookshelf The corner bent from turning it I hear your laughter in the kitchen Though the room is still and dim I used to hide behind my silence Afraid of wanting something true Now every honest thing inside me Has found its way back home to you [Pre-Chorus] So if your heart is tired of waiting Lay its worries down with mine I will hold you through the changing I will meet you every time [Chorus] I love you deeply Deeper than the words I say Deeper than the river running Past the house at break of day I need you near me Like the earth needs summer rain Every part of me remembers Your name, your touch, your face [Bridge] [Harmony] Stay, stay, stay with me [Lead] No promise has to sound like thunder No vow has to shake the sky Just put your hand inside my hand, love And let this little truth survive [Harmony] You are the place my heart can rest [Lead] And when the years have changed our story When silver finds us in our hair I’ll turn and find the same beginning In the way you’re standing there [Chorus] I love you deeply Deeper than the words I say Deeper than the river running Past the house at break of day I need you near me Like the earth needs summer rain Every part of me remembers Your name, your touch, your face [Final Chorus] I love you deeply Let the whole world fade away You’re the quiet in my breathing You’re the reason I can stay I need you near me More with every passing day Four hearts singing one devotion And I’ll love you all the way [Outro] Deeply, deeply Ooh, I’ll love you deeply Mmm, stay with me
