2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Let me be your ‘special something’ by Wendy Jeans

Lyrics

Let me be a soft whisper, barely there in your ear
Can I be the calm voice of what you so need to hear ?
I’d be subtly warm with my words and my touch
And I promise that I’d never ask for too much …


I don’t need a saviour- or someone on one knee;
Anymore than I need someone else to complete me
I don’t need to be your everything –
I can be something you can believe in

Chorus

Let me be what makes you laugh
And Not a promise ‘till I die….
I want to be the thing you crave,
Although you don’t even know why
In a world so full of all or nothing ….
I could be that special something

Bridge

I don’t need to fill empty space in my heart;
I’ll leave with all that I brought from the start –
Can’t we give and receive, and become a true work of art?
Never really together, so not torn apart!
Do you think you could offer me just a small spot?


I want to be a faint scent,
That lingers long after I’ve gone;
That conjures a feeling you’ve had all along …
Can I be that song that plays in your head?
The one you can’t place, and now you forget –

I don’t need a promise or a shiny round ring-
I just need a doorway – please let me come in !
I don’t need it all , I’ll take anything –
Oh let me be your special something


Chorus

Let me be what makes you laugh;
And not a promise ‘till I die,
I want to be the thing you crave,
Although you don’t even know why
In a world so full of all or nothing ….
I can be your special something

I can come with no cost –
I don’t need security;
All that I offer can be yours for free;
Seeds of control aren’t what I’ll sow –
In this kind of garden no beauty can grow;

You can soften my gaze, loosen my grip-
Time to weigh anchor on my sinking ship;
There will be no captain, no queen and no King
We could just be each others’ special something…..


CHORUS – end
