A young man strumming his guitar In the corner of the bar Singing 'bout a broken heart For hours and hours By closing time, I face the fact That if I had a gift like that I know that I could win her back But there's some things I can't do So now it's up to you Write one for me Put the perfect words together Write one for me A melody to last forever I don't have the song, so if you please Tell her she's the right one for me It does no good for you to play A pretty song like "Yesterday" (Why she had to go) 'Cause that's not what I need to say To get her to love me And I'm too scared to tell her so So if you'd be my Cyrano And send to her a tune, I know That she would send her mind Take a little time and Write one for me Put the perfect words together Write one for me A melody to last forever I don't have the song, so if you please Tell her she's the right one for me If I could write a poem, I would sing one But I don't have a pen I can depend on I can't come up with a single line So would you write a song And tell her that it's mine, all mine Write one for me Put the perfect words together Write one for me A melody to last forever I don't have the song, so if you please Tell her she's the right one for me Tell her she's the right one for me
