I sat down to play a chord or two And try to find some words that I could sing for you 'Cause I'm all out of jokes, and you're still feeling blue Oh, I'm afraid this is the best that I could do ♪ I pretend that I don't have a clue When I see every single thing he puts you through Until I find the nerve to state my point of view Well, I'm afraid this is the best that I can do ♪ Child, don't you lose that sparkle Let me set your spirit free With a happy melody And don't you waste another precious second Wishing on a star You don't have to look that far ♪ This conversation's long overdue I can see it in your eyes you feel it to So, I would say it, but now my song is through And I'm afraid this was the best that I could do
