I’m so sorry for the things I’ve done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand that I made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can’t seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn’t show it’s cause I don’t know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you!
