Three words
Lennie Gallant
Revenant Records (Canada)
I wanted to give you something to show the way I feel
But a rose won’t last near long enough
And for a diamond I’d have to steal
I hope you won’t feel cheated because the gift is not brand new
I wrapped it up inside this song, it’s for no one else but you
Chorus:
Three well worn words, stained with tears
Well worn words that conquered fear
Used a million times in verse and rhyme
Yet they never reach everyone’s ears
Three well worn words soaked by the rain
Well worn words full of joy and pain
Thrown to the wind of a thousand storms
They float back home again
There’s a softness in your pretty face
When the morning light creeps in
I search for the things to whisper to you
But I don’t know where to begin
Maybe you’ve heard them before
Maybe I’ve heard them too
But an old guitar plays the sweetest music
When the chords that you play are true
Chorus
At the back of a dresser drawer
Where the daylight couldn’t get through
At the bottom of an old love letter
That I always meant to send to you
Three well worn words
