I Tried to Write You a Love Song · 5 January 2000
D A D
I tried to write you a love song
G A D
But the words just never came out right
G A D A G
I struggled on the first line and then on every word
G A
But nothing could say you’re my love, my life
First Refrain:
G A
I tried to say I love you
G A
And that I truly care
G A
To say I really need you
G A
And that I’ll always be there
G A
That you’re my one and only
G A
And I’ll always be true
G A
But the only words that came out
G A D
Were “I love you.”
I tried to write you a love song
It took me three years to get this far
Every word had to be just right to say you’re my one true love
And tell the world how wonderful you are
Second Refrain:
I tried to say you’re beautiful
And I have eyes only for you
That you’re my truest friend
Loyal, tried and true
That you’re my one and only
And I’ll always be true
But the only words that came out
Were “I love you.”
I tried to write you a love song
I guess that this is the best one that I’ve got
I wish I was a poet so I could say what’s in my heart
I hope three little words are gonna be enough
Third Refrain:
Enough to say I love you
And that I truly care
To say I really need you
And I’ll always be there
That you’re my one and only
And I’ll always be true
But the only words that came out
Were “I love you.”
‘Cause yes, I do.
You know I
Love
You.

You'll Never Be Mine · 4 January 2000
Refrain:
E
You’ll never be mine
A B
‘Though we spend time together
G
‘Though we walk hand-in-hand
(A) E
And we reach for the stars
A E
‘Though I can’t imagine
A E
My life without you
B E
I know that you’ll never be mine
Verse:
B A E
When we first met I knew we’d be together
A B E
But I guess that I should have known
B A E
That we could be friends because I love your mother
A B
But you’d never become my son
I just can’t believe that…
Refrain
I guess I know that I’m not really your Daddy
‘Though I love you more than you’ll know
It all became clear when I heard you say, “Daddy!”
To someone who called on the phone
It made me realize that…
Refrain
I know that I can’t take the place of your Daddy
And I wouldn’t even try
But I’ll do my best to make us a family
Me, you, and your Mommy
I’ll just remember that…
Refrain

You know just where to go.
Kisses and hugs from Mommy and me
They help the hurt to go.

All of your life remember one thing
We love you more than you’ll know
So when you’re down or you need a friend
Home is one place you can go.

Tomorrow is another big day
Your future looks bright it’s true
And as you go remember one thing
Your mom and I love you.
Refrain
