Song For You

You softly breathed "I love you" with a sigh.
I know that you were sleeping.
I know you didn't mean to.
I thought I didn't need it,
I thought it didn't matter.
But it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me start,
To write this song
Yeah, it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me start,
To write this song for you.
 
I memorized the words, over and over,
I wanted to remember when the morning came,
I thought about the words, over and over.
I knew that I might never hear them spoken again.
        Those words I heard you say,
          Those words I thought you said,
            Those words I hope you said,
Cause they caught my breath and they skipped my heart,
And they made me want
To write this song.
Yeah, they caught my breath and they skipped my heart,
And they made me want
To write this song for you.
 
I wish I may, wish I might,
Hear those words I heard tonight.
If I die before I wake, I won't be sad or blue,
I'll remember what you said and send it back to you.
Cause it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me love you, too.
