Carolyn Arends Album: This Much I Understand Track: Love You Out Loud
Love You Out Loud Lyrics
Words and music by Carolyn Arends and Joel Lindsey If I had only known that you were leaving here so soon I would not have been so flippant when I offered you the moon I'd have pulled my chair up closer to the railing of your bed And chosen much more carefully the words I said
I would ask you for your stories And I would tell you mine I would give you much more credit I would take more of your time There's so much I left unspoken If you were here right now I would love you out loud
If I had said the words "I love you" every time they crossed my mind Then you would have heard me tell you at least a thousand times I know you knew it anyway, I guess you understood But I would like to go back if I only could
I would ask you for your stories And I would tell you mine I would give you much more credit I would take more of your time There's so much I left unspoken If you were here right now I would love you out loud
I would touch you much more often I would laugh at all your jokes I would worry through your worries I would dream through all your hopes I would pray with you to heaven Are you watching from there now Do you know what I would give for the chance somehow
To ask you for your stories I would tell you mine I would give you much more credit I would take more of your time There's so much I left unspoken If you were here right now I would love you out loud Oh, I would love you out love
