What Can I Say
(L. Zaleta/B. Ralston)
Beautiful free girl, running barefoot through my world
Beautiful free girl, swinging wisdom round like pearls
What can I say, okay, can you come out to play
What can I do, for you,
I’ll turn your grey skies blue
Beautiful dreamer, still a wounded man like me can smile
Inscrutable schemer, still captivated by your style
What can I say, okay, yeah I’ll come out to play
What can I do, call you,
I hope you can play too
Cos I want you for my bride, now don’t you run and hide
Spend all my days with you, I won’t keep secrets from you
Spend all of my nights too, stay with me where it’s true
Wonderful woman, winking at the damage done
Wonderful woman, sweeping shadows towards the sun
What can I say, all right, I won’t put up a fight
What can I do, shine bright, I’ll be your guiding light
Cos I want you for my bride, now don’t you run and hide
Spend all my days with you, I won’t keep secrets from you
Spend all of my nights too, stay with me where it’s true
Wrapping my arms around you to keep you close to me
I’ll be your groom with a view from here to eternity
What can I say, all right, I won’t put up a fight
What can I do, shine bright, I’ll be your guiding light
Cos I want you for my bride, now don’t you run and hide
Spend all my days with you, I won’t keep secrets from you
Share all of my nights too, stay with me where
Stay with me where,
Stay with me where it’s true
