How Can I Write on Paper (What I Feel In My Heart)
Jim Reeves · Love Songs [BMG Heritage] [2004]
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?...
