Words Most True

@GlynShipman ‘s Melody #1 was just too tender and sweet to pass up writing lyrics for and titling “Words Most True.” I loved the expression set forth in the guitar play, the openness of the story the music was telling and asking to be told, and the all-around good feel and meaning in this delicately-powerful melody.

“Words Most True”
Melody by: Glyn Shipman
Lyrics and Vocals by: Chris Buono

I’m looking for those words to say I’m sorry
I’m looking for those words most true
I’m looking for those words that show I really do care
I’m looking for how best to say “I love you”

Please be patient with me
Love like this I never knew
That’s not to say, I can’t apologize
It’s just to ask, even more of you

My life was nothing, before we met
Your beautiful eyes set my heart ablaze
But here I am, tongue-twisted stumbling through
Jumbling thoughts keeping me from you

I’ll, admit, it, all, was, my fault
Never should have said those hurtful things to you
But know, this from me, I’m as lucky, as can be
With you, in my life, I now see

I’m looking for those words to say I’m sorry
I’m looking for those words most true
I’m looking for those words that show I really do care
I’m looking for how best to say “I love you”

Please now listen to me
Not certain I’ll get it right again
I was the foolish one blaming you
Now I’m asking your forgiveness, too

Wouldn’t blame you, if you said goodbye
Wouldn’t want you to stay and make you cry
But we can make it together now
All we have to do, for us
All we have to do, for us
All we have to do, for us, is try
