Short words
They're all I say
Little things
That mean so much

But short words
Upon your ears
Do they say to you
All that I feel

[stanzas cut:]

Short words
All I dare say
A little gap
That means so much

But short words
In a tender voice
May say to you
A bit that I feel

Short words
If nothing else
Keep me saying things
That mean so much

But short words
Skies grey or blue
Never say quite right
My love for you
