How Can I Tell You?

about

1970 and an album called Teaser and the Firecat was released by Cat Stevens. My sister Nichola had this album and between us, we played it to death. This is one of the tracks that can be found on the album and would definitely be in my top ten, I just love it.

I first started playing this song, not long after I heard it for the first time. I sat down and strummed along with my guitar, trying to work out the chords and thought that it was really difficult.

It isn't, in fact it is a very simple song to play and I think that is why it appeals to me so much. The innocent simplicity of the lyrics and the easy melody make for the perfect love song.

lyrics

How Can I Tell You?

How can I tell you that I love you?
I love you, But I can't think of right words to say,
And I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you.
I'm always thinking of you,
But my words just blow away. Just blow away.
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
And I can't think of right words to say.

Wherever I am girl, I am always walking with you.
I'm always walking with you,
But I look and you're not there,
And whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you.
I'm always talking to you,
And I'm sad that you can't hear,
Sad that you can't hear.
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there.

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you,
Feel my arms surround you
Like sea around the shore.
Each night and day, I pray in hope that I might find you,
in hope that I might find you,
Because hearts can do no more,
Can do no more.
It always ends up to one thing, honey.
Still, I kneel upon the floor.

How can I tell you that I love you?
I love you,
But I can't think of right words to say,
And I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you.
I'm always thinking of you.
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
And I can't think of right words to say.
