Red 歌词

i wanted to write you a song to remind you of everything good in the world. you could play it at picnics and in traffic you could listen. let it take you away. but this is as good as it gets these days. this is as good as it gets. i wanted to paint you a picture that'd make you smile everytime you walked by. you could trace every line with your finger and find that they're all for you. but i'm only an artist from time to time when i'm painting my way out of things. i'm sure that you hoped for a happier tune. so did i. i'm sure you expected much more but life's hard to ignore at least one things for sure... if i knew hope i'd know your face if i knew love i'd know your taste if i felt peace it'd be your hand in my hand if i had faith it'd be in one single man if i knew beauty that stretched over miles i'd know each perfect curve of your smile if i knew grace that made bitter stones dance i'd know the warmth of your merciful glance if i knew hope like the birds know the sky i'd know each colored thread in your eye and when time simply won't stand still it's so nice knowing you will
