What You Are

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Listen, baby by time you get this letter
I'll be gone
But I left something for you on the pillow
Put this tape in, press play i love ya

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
(so whoa) i'm putting this on tape
(baby you're wonderful)
I really mean it babe
(more than you will ever know)
I wish that I could stay (but I got to go)
I'll be back but in the meantime
Keep in mind that

You are is something to 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 it slips my mind so
In case I forget
Girl 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's left
Because 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 is something to 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 it slips my mind so
In case I forget
Girl 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's left
Because baby you are

You are is something to 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 it slips my mind so
In case I forget
Girl 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's left
Because baby you are
