What You Are

It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night

I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind

I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye

And whoa, I'm putting this on tape

Baby, you're wonderful, I really mean it, babe

More than you will ever know

Wish that I could stay but I gotta go

I'll be back but in the meantime keep in mind

That you are something too big for words

And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse

'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids

Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget

Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had

You are the perfect love, never give you up

Because you are my heart my soul my breath

Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are

Now no man has ever loved his woman more than I love you

Girl, you know it's true

And no man can ever say he does a woman better than I do you

That ain't true, here's what I do

Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week

Take you shopping whenever, more importantly

Wrap my loving arms around you

To reassure everything I felt that first night I feel it more

You are something too big for words

And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse

'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids

Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget

Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had

You are the perfect love, never give you up

Because you are my heart my soul my breath

Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are

Girl, you are something too big for words

And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse

'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids

Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget

Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had

You are the perfect love, never give you up

Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath

Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are

Girl, you are, you are, you are

Girl, you are, you are
