If to Say I Love You
Written with Caroline Cox Simon
Verse:
It’s so comfortable to hide inside the
Love you feel for someone
You wanna lock and bolt the door.
Once I was like that way but then you
Opened up my eyes
And opened up my heart so much more.
Chorus:
If to say “I Love You”
Means I cannot love all others
Than how can I love you,
Except from a small, dark corner of my heart?
If my hand is gloved
When I offer it to others
Then is my friendship true
Or do I stand, alone, aloof, apart?
If I think of you in a reverie of bliss
Shutting out the outside world, I must remember this:
I am not a lover nor a friend at all unless
I open my heart real wide
To hold all the world inside.
