In the Language of Love: Roger Miller's Musical Whisperings
Lyrics
(spoken)This is the story about a boy that loved a girl
This is the introduction, explaining that the song narrates the story of a boy's love for a girl.
He loved her very much, in fact he loved her so much that he
He loved the girl intensely, so much that he struggled to find the right words to express the depth of his love.
Couldn't seem to find the exact words to tell her exactly how much he did love her
The boy faced difficulty in articulating his love precisely to the girl.
Oh he tried several times, but it seems like every time he tried the words always came out backwards
