If I Could Tell Her

If I Could Tell Her - Steven Brault

Well

He said

There's nothing like your smile

Sort of subtle and perfect and real

And he said

You never knew how wonderful

That smile could make someone feel

He knew

Whenever you get bored

You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans

And he noticed

That you still fill out the quizzes

That they put in those teen magazines

But he kept it all inside his head

What he saw

He left unsaid

And though he wanted to

He couldn't talk to you

He couldn't find the way

But he would always say

If I could tell her

Tell her everything I see

If I could tell her

How she's everything to me

But we're a million worlds apart

And I don't know how I would even start

If I could tell her

If I could tell her

He thought

You looked really pretty er

It looked pretty cool when you put indigo

Streaks in your hair

He did

And he wondered how you learned to dance

Like all the rest of the world isn't there

But he kept it all inside his head

What he saw he left unsaid

If I could tell her

Tell her everything I see

If I could tell her

How she's everything to me

But we're a million worlds apart

And I don't know how I would even start

If I could tell her

If I could tell her

But what do you do when there's this great divide

He just seemed so far away

And what do you do when the distance is too wide

It's like I don't know anything

But how do you say

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

But we're a million worlds apart

And I don't know how I would even start

If I could tell her

If I could
