How Can I Tell You

Communication is a skill you must acquire, it will help you through your life, it is essential You have to walk into this world with your head held high, be fluid child, don't become crystalline, you're gonna have to swim with the molecules How can I tell you, you have to open up your heart How can I tell you, be honest from the very start How I feel, make a stand for what is true Try to be decent in all that you do. How can I tell you, you've got to give to get support How can I tell you, a little effort & a lot more thought How I feel, check the wonder in all that you see You've got to get loving unconditionally. You're gonna have to walk that road, you're gonna bear some heavy loads You'll make mistakes & you'll come close You're gonna get hurt by the one you love most You're gonna have to take some pain, accept the loss to live again Forgive yourself as you'll be free, there's more to love than just loving you see. How can I tell you, the laughter on a crowded bus How can I tell you, making space when you're being crushed How I feel, a letter I receive from you A hug & a kiss when you're feeling blue How can I tell you, the last chocolate in the box How can I tell you, a pair of mittens & some cotton socks How I feel, I'll make a fire when you are cold Don't worry darling I'll love you when you grow old How can I tell you, 6 candles on your birthday cake How can I tell you, a Christmas card that I helped you make How I feel, when you ran in your first race The time I stuck an ice cream in your face How can I tell you, the last chocolate in the box How can I tell you, a pair of mittens & some cotton socks How I feel, I'll make a fire when you are cold Don't worry darling I'll love you when you grow old --- How Can I Tell You - Madness
