I tried to write you a love song Something to dance around I couldn't find a melody Words to make you proud But I can always strum a chord I can hum a tune Try my best to represent What it means to me When I'm next to you I couldn't write you a love song Something to sing out loud I tried 100 harmonies Guess I'm still trying now But I can always play guitar Try something new And I hope I can carry out What it means to me When I'm next to you When I'm close to you When I'm near to you Close to you To you When I'm close to you I thought I'd write you a love song Something to dance around I tried 100 harmonies Some words to make you proud But I can always play these chords And we can hum this tune And I hope you know by now What it means to me When I'm next to you
