Sound of I Love You
Words and Music by Jeffrey Wayne Churchwell

(verse 1)
Oh, I know it’s been said so much better than this.
It’s been whispered and rumored, and wrapped up and hid.
It’s been shown around town. It’s come back home again.
If I said it out loud, would you be glad that I did?
It’s the way that “I love you” is said.

(verse 2)
We’ve been fightin’ and cursin’, and nursin’ our pain.
Made each other feel small, gave each other the blame.
Found our hearts in our throats, poured our tears down the drain.
Still, we lift each other up and get back in the game,
Where the feel of “I love you” remains.

(Bridge 1)
Yours is a full heart, but not too full for me.
You’ve been letting me see deep inside.
Why should redemption be too good for me?
You’re what keeps me from wanting to hide.

(Instrumental)

(Bridge 2)
Yours is a full heart, but not too full for me.
You’ve been keeping it free from your pride.
How can redemption be too damn good for me?
You’re what keeps me from wanting to hide.

(verse 3)
I know sometimes it’s rough, and just living’s a fight.
But would it kill you, would it kill me, to believe it’s all right?
Seen you tender and tough; you’ve been shadow and light.
I’ve heard all of your sounds and I still love the sight.
So listen close, honey. Let the music delight.
It’s the sound of “I love you…”
The sound of “I love you” tonight.
