DUCE - The Songwriter

Lyrics

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY?
(In the singing style of: a Male)
[The song is about: “Sometimes words just aren’t enough. So … marry her!”]

Verse1
Shall I buy you roses to put beside your bed?
Diamonds in tiaras to wear upon your head?
Do I say the nicest things, the words I know I should?
Should I say the sweetest things and hope the words feel good?

Chorus1
I tried to write this song a thousand times.
I tried to think of all the prettiest words and rhymes.
But what’s the best way to say I love you?
What’s the best way to show I care?

Verse2
Shall I send you chocolates, filled with love and care?
Rainbow-colored ribbons, to tie up in your hair?
Do I say the nicest things, the words I know I should?
Should I say the sweetest things and hope the words feel good?

Chorus2
I tried to write this song a thousand times.
I tried to think of all the prettiest words and rhymes.
But what’s the best way to say I love you?
What’s the best way to show I care?

Verse3
Shall I talk of life and love and fill your day with hope?
Give you words of wisdom, helping you to cope?
Do I say the nicest things, the words I know I should?
Should I say the sweetest things and hope the words feel good?

Chorus3
I tried to write this song a thousand times.
I tried to think of all the prettiest words and rhymes.
But what’s the best way to say I love you?
What’s the best way to show I care?

Verse4
I think I’ll send the pumpkin and six white horses too.
For the Cinderella Princess is the biggest part of you.
And all your dreams I hope come true, especially today,
For I think I’ve found the best way – I’m all yours today.

Chorus4
I tried to write this song a thousand times.
I tried to think of all the prettiest words and rhymes.
But what’s the best way to say I love you?
What’s the best way to show I care?
What’s the best way to show I care?
What’s the best way to show I care?
