lyrics

I've been trying to find the words to explain
just what I hear when I hear your name
but it's like trying to show a blind man how to see
and I wish thee was a way to say what you mean to me.

Cause you're the picture the artist couldn't paint
and you're the song that the singer couldn't find the words to sing.
You're more lovely than the fragrance of perfume.
the only word that I can find for something so beautiful is you.

Just like holding a baby in my arms
when you hold my hand it just melts my heart.
Just like watching the ocean dancing with the moon
the only word that I can find to show such beauty is you.

Cause you're the picture the artist couldn't paint
and you're the song that the singer couldn't find the words to sing.
You're more lovely than the fragrance of perfume.
the only word that I can find for something so beautiful is you.

And I thank the Lord above when I see you look at me.
And I pray that I'll be worthy of this beauty that I see.
