Lyrics:

                                                  
verse 1

I wanted to show off my art
And make you a gift
Win a permanent place in your heart
With a little trick
Let you know how I feel about you
By rhyming words that I'd add music to
 
chorus

I pondered and puzzled
Twisted and struggled
Sat down for hours and pulled out my hair
Built metaphors and splendid chords
Moved words and notes back and forth
But they refused to line up and pair
It all sounded cheesy and wrong 
Your light shines too brightly for a song
 
verse 2
 
I wanted to shout out my love
But I can't make it fit
It's never close to enough 
What I come up with 
Neither me nor my vintage guitar
Can express how beautiful you are
 
chorus

I pondered and puzzled
Twisted and struggled
Sat down for hours and pulled out my hair
Built metaphors and splendid chords
Moved words and notes back and forth
But they refused to line up and pair
It all sounded cheesy and wrong 
Your light shines too brightly for a song
 
bridge
           
It was a silly thing to try
Can't do you justice with a write
It sounds like howling at the moon       
You're too precious for a country tune
 
chorus

I pondered and puzzled
Twisted and struggled
Sat down for hours and pulled out my hair
Built metaphors and splendid chords
Moved words and notes back and forth
But they refused to line up and pair
It all sounded cheesy and wrong 
Your light shines too brightly for a song
I'm sorry I can't write you a song
