DEBBIE GIBSON - Only Words lyrics

Baby take my hand and I'll take you higher

'Cause my one desire is you and I need you now

More than ever if it takes forever and I know

These things are things you've heard

But up 'til now they were only words

CHORUS:

Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers

Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun

Blinding me with spirit

In the night my private soul can hear it

Common as the hummingbirds

But they were only words

Now I feel like a wise old man

I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys

These thoughts are mine for the very first time

Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true

It may sound like nothing new to you

Only words

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence

Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves

Here's hoping "can't" and "never", "not now"

And "gee it's time to go" are words we'll never know

CHORUS:

Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers

Oh Yeah! Now they're vivid like the sun

Blinding me with spirit

In the night my private soul can hear it

Common as the hummingbirds

But they were only words

CHORUS:

Dancin' on the lips of intimate strangers

Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun

Blinding me with spirit

In the night my private soul can hear it

Common as the hummingbirds

Only words

Blinding me with spirit

In the night my private soul can hear it

Common as the hummingbirds

But they were only words
