10,000 words by Tommy L. Day & The Runaways

(v1)
10,000 words no matter how lovely
No matter the beauty with which they are written
Could never replace a moment with her
Could never describe how deeply I’m smitten

(v2)
I sat by the lakeside, pen in my hand
The sun shining down as I tried to compose
A letter or song to express my affection
But this feeling’s too strong for poems or prose

(Bridge)
They say there’s an answer for all those who seek it
The essence of love’s wondrous mystery
I’ve tried and I’ve tried, to discover the secret
Still I can’t express what she means to me

(v3)
We sat on the grass, watching the sunset
Watching the stars find their homes in the sky
And 10,000 words could never explain it
I’m happy enough now without knowing why

(Instrumental bridge)

(v1)
10,000 words no matter how lovely
No matter the beauty with which they are written
Could never replace a moment with her
Could never describe how deeply I’m smitten

(Outro)
Hm Ahhh
