I want to write you a song

One that's beautiful as you are sweet

Just a hint of pain

For the feeling that I get when you are gone

I want to write you a song.

I want to lend you my coat

One that's as soft as your cheek

So when the world is cold

You'll have a hiding place you can go

I want to lend you my coat.

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do.

I want to build you a boat

One that's strong as you are free

So any time you think that your heart is gonna sink

You know it won't

I want to build you a boat.

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do.

Everything I need I get from you

Givin' back is all I wanna do.

I want to write you a song

One to make your heart remember me

So any time I'm gone

You can listen to my voice and sing along

I want to write you a song

I want to write you a song.
