How Can I Write on Paper (What I Feel In My Heart)

Jim Reeves · Love Songs [BMG Heritage] [2004]

With pen in hand I try to write this note to you

I know now where I stand but what am I to do

I've found so many things to say since we're so far apart

How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?



How can I write on paper what I'm feeling deep inside?

Words to you would last no longer than it takes the ink to dry

A love as sweet as yours and mine deserves another start

How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?



Those simple things you gave are worth the world to me

And each of them I claim, you can't take memories

So many things were left unsaid I don't know where to start

How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?



How can I write on paper what I'm feeling deep inside?

Words to you would last no longer than it takes the ink to dry

A love as sweet as yours and mine deserves another start

How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart?...
