Week 42 - There's No Telling Where I'd Be (10​-​21​-​17)

from Song A Week, Volume 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Let’s say that you believe me
That I know how to stop the world
Unless my eyes deceive me
It stopped the day I met you girl

Forever I’ll be in this moment
As sure as night will follow day
Maybe time is just a canvas
For painting what we need to say

There’s a certain smile that only you can see
A clear reflection of the light you shine on me
Like a rainbow overhead it’s a sight I can’t forget
Without your love well there’s no telling where I’d be

Come and find me in a daydream
On the late October wind
Bring a notebook and a blanket
Let the levity begin

There’s something in the sunset
When we’re laying cheek to cheek
You seem to know just what I’m thinking
Long before I even speak

There’s a certain smile that only you can see
A clear reflection of the light you shine on me
Like a rainbow overhead it’s a sight I can’t forget
Without your love well there’s no telling where I’d be

Give me one more chance to show you
How it feels to sit beside
Your eyes as they sparkle in the moonlight
The color changing with the tide

Later when the world is sleeping
And all I need is your embrace
Even when the words escape me
You can see it on my face
