Just to Hear You Say

Just to hear you say (lyrics: Mike & James Glasgow)

What if I met you in a hurricane? The wind would throw our hair around and round again, and if you said I love you, then the words would just blow away. I would go anywhere just to hear you say…

What if I met you on a cold winter’s day? So numb, you couldn’t feel the kisses on your face; and if you said “I love you,” then the words would just freeze in place.

Just one more kiss, don’t spread your lips; I know everything, everything, every word you won’t breathe eases an empty peace into every sigh I heave. I can deny, still dignified, that all this time I fly on lies…still I would go anywhere just to hear you say…

What if I met you in the deep Deep South? Magnolia blossoms hanging heavy on the bough…and If you said “I love you,” then the words would just melt in your mouth.

What if I met you on a turtle’s back? We’d walk in endless circles, tracing out the cracks. I’d lose the minutes, hours, days, while praying that you might say…I would go anywhere just to hear you say…
