If You Could Read My Mind

My mother and father never talked too much About their feelings for each other Father was the strong and silent type Still I knew he really loved her Baby in the place where I grew up Tender words were rarely spoken You see I never learned the way to reach out and say To bring all my the open I know you wanna know what's in my heart I know you need to hear it from my lips Wish you could only feel the love I'm holding inside Wish you could see the joy I'm feeling If you could read my mind One look and you would find I love you more than words could say anyway You know if you could only touch my soul If you could only touch my soul If you could reach inside Where there's no place to hide You'd see my love light shining through just for you It's true if you could only read my mind Just like a prisoner who is bound and chained Like a flower outside is taken I am unable to communicate The almost come few awaken I know it's hard for you to understand I know you need to hear the words of love Wish you could only see the love I'm holding inside Wish you could see the joy I'm feeling If you could read my mind One look and you would find I love you more than words could say anyway You know if you could only touch my soul If you could only touch my soul If you could reach inside Where there's no place to hide You'd see my love light shining through just for you It's true if you could only read my mind
