[Verse]
GEdgar Allan had his talent, Dbut he'll never know
a wCay to describe the Dbeauty of you thGough.
And GWilliam Shakespeare had no great fear, Dwhen it came to words
but he hCad nothing to mDatch that smile of yGours.
[Chorus]
If I could fCind a Emway, to describe what you mDeant to Cme
I'd be better than GShakespeare, I'd be better than CChaucer
I'd be better than CHemingwaDy, I'd be better than GPoe.
Cuz you are brighter than sGunlight, drifting tChrough the waves
ProjeCcting rays of goDld.
You are better than tGhose, but you are better than pCrose,
You are better than HCemingwDay, you are better than GPoe.
[Verse]
GGeoffrey Chaucer had a heart for Dpilgrims on the road
but for yCou there is no tDelling where I'd Ggo.
and HGemingway found inspiration sDailing out to sea
but there Cis no better mDuse than you for Gme.
If I could fCind a Emway, to describe what you mDeant to Cme
I'd be better than GShakespeare, I'd be better than CChaucer
I'd be better than CHemingwaDy, I'd be better than GPoe.
Cuz you are brighter than sGunlight, drifting tChrough the waves
ProjeCcting rays of goDld.
You are better than tGhose, but you are better than pCrose,
You are better than HCemingwDay, you are better than GPoe.
[Last Chorus]
But I cannot fCind a Emway, to describe what you mDeant to Cme
Don't have the words to be SGhakespeare, don't have the time to be CChaucer
I'm too boring for HCemingwDay, can't hold a candle to GPoe.
But you're still brighter than suGnlight, drifting tChrough the waves
projeCcting rays of gDold.
You are better than Gthose, but you are better than pCrose.
You are better than HCemingwaDy, you are better than PGoe.
