Lyrics
You'd think that these words
You might expect that these words
Of a poet would come out
Written by a poet, would articulate
Too metaphorize this
To use metaphors for this
But I've been searching all these years
Yet I've been seeking all these years
It's more than the love
It's more profound than mere affection
That word isn't strong enough
The term 'love' lacks sufficient strength
So, I guess we'll have to make one up
Therefore, it seems we'll need to invent a new word
Cause love isn't enough
Because love alone isn't adequate
It just isn't enough, love it isn't enough to say
It's simply insufficient; love isn't adequate to express
And while you're sleeping
While you're asleep
I think to myself, I'm givin' you my name
I contemplate, I'm entrusting you with my identity
Now darlin', just keep dreamin'
Now my dear, just keep dreaming
And one day you'll wake up and forget about all the rest and just move on
And eventually, you'll awaken and let go of all past attachments and move forward
And love just isn't enough of a word to say
Love alone isn't adequate to describe
But I'll still love you every day
Yet I'll continue to love you each day
Love just isn't enough of a word to write
Love alone isn't sufficient to inscribe
But I'll love you for the rest of my life
But I'll love you for the duration of my life
And nothin' else felt right
And nothing else seemed appropriate
We both decided not to fight
We both agreed not to engage in conflict
When I look at your face, nothing there to replace
When I gaze at your countenance, nothing could replace it
Nothing more to overcome
No more obstacles to overcome
I imagine our children
I envision our offspring
As I see your eyes in them
Seeing your eyes reflected in them
See in my mother's face and your grandfather's grace
Observing similarities in my mother's appearance and your grandfather's dignity
And my father's will to try
And my father's determination to attempt
And while you're sleeping
While you're asleep
I think to myself, I'm givin' you my name
I contemplate, I'm entrusting you with my identity
Now darlin', just keep dreamin'
Now my dear, just keep dreaming
And one day you'll wake up and forget about all the rest and just move on
And eventually, you'll awaken and let go of all past attachments and move forward
And love just isn't enough of a word to say
Love alone isn't adequate to describe
But I'll still love you every day
Yet I'll continue to love you each day
Love just isn't enough of a word to write
Love alone isn't sufficient to inscribe
But I'll love you for the rest of my life
But I'll love you for the duration of my life
