Verse 1 (John) You can be the way you are I can be the one who takes you far You could be the face in a crowd that blend right in Or a legend in your time and mind I can be the key or I can be the ring You can be the song that a caged bird sings We should take the next ship out to see We could find who you are to me in this Chorus 1 (John) Poetry of love Do we have the nerve to give a little love Take a little sun then wake up in the morning Do it all again Do we have the time to get a little happy Give a little love then make it to the end together Verse 2 (John) Maybe it's a coffee break Maybe it's the same train car we take
Maybe I'm the guy who sold you your guitar Or maybe it's our favorite bar When I noticed you You noticing me When you took a chance, took a chance on me Things were really great nothing to report This is where the story comes apart There was sadness in your eye There were trust issues in mine Though we try to pull together We seem to break up all the time, we need some Chorus 2 Poetry of love Do we have the nerve to give a little love Take a little sun then wake up in the morning Do it all again Do we have the time to get a little happy Give a little love then make it to the end together
