America - That’s All I’ve Got To Say lyrics

Written by Jimmy Webb, ©1982

Found on The Last Unicorn Soundtrack.

Lir: I've had time to write a book

About the way you act and look

But I haven't got a paragraph

Words are always getting in my way

Anyway, I love you

That's all I have to tell you

That's all I've got to say

And now, I'd like to make a speech

About the love that touches each

But stumbling, I would make you laugh

I feel as though my tongue were made of clay

Anyway, I love you

That's all I have to tell you

I'm not a man of poetry

Music isn't one with me

It runs from me

It runs from me

(Duet)

Lir: And I tried to write a symphony

Amalthea: Once when I was searching

Lir: But I lost the melody

Amalthea: Somewhere out of reach

Lir: Alas I only finished half

Amalthea: Far away

Lir: And finish I suppose I never may

Amalthea: In a place I could not find

Lir: Anyway, I love you

Amalthea: Or heart obey

Lir: That's all I have to tell you

Amalthea: Now that I'm a woman

Lir: That's all I've got to say

Amalthea: Now I know the way

Lir: That's all I've got to say

Amalthea: Now I know the way

Together: That's all I've got to say
