How Can I Tell You

Cat Stevens · Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 [2003]

How can I tell you that I love you... I love you

But I can't think of right words to say

and I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you

I'm always thinking of you

but my words just blow away

just blow away



always ends up to one thing honey

and I can't think of right words to say



Wherever I am, girl, I'm always walking with you

I'm always walking with you

but I look and you're not there

whomever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you

I'm always talking to you

and I'm sad that you can't hear

sad that you can't hear



it always ends up to one thing honey

when I look and you're not there



I need to know you

Need to feel my arms around you

Feel my arms surround you

like the sea around the shore

each night and day I pray

and hope that I might find you

and hope that I might find you

because hearts can do no more



it always ends up to one thing honey

still I kneal upon your floor



how can I tell you that I love you... I love you

but I can't think of what's right to say

I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you

I'm always thinking of you



it always ends up to one thing honey

and I can't think of right words to say
