Songs and Poems

All those songs and poems

There’s a reason I wrote ‘em

I felt the world ought to know

How strong a love can grow

I’ve spent countless hours

And brought you fields of flowers

Yet there are kings and queens

Coupled with their beautiful things

Who will never know what it means

Not gold, silver, or diamond rings

Nor how the yellow canary sings

There’s nothing that can compare

So much love that we share

All those songs and poems

There’s a reason I wrote ‘em

Each and every gentle verse

There was no need to rehearse

A love that makes rivers turn

The kind that makes water burn

Above all mountains it towers

It makes heroes out of cowards

It’s never a matter of question

We gave it full expression

All those songs and poems

There’s a reason I wrote ‘em
