(Lyle Lovett)

Its not the words

You know I'll always love you

It's not the words

I wish that I could stay

It's more the way your lips looked

As you spoke them

And how the moonlight fell upon your face

I married her just because she looks like you



And for every time you said no

She says honey I'll be glad to

And for every time you left me

She says darling I'll be there

It's not the words

You'll get over me

That made my dreams come true

I married her just because she looks like you



And if I had not searched for you

I never would have found her

And if I had not loved you

I would never have known love

It's not the words

Please try to forget me

That made my dreams come true

I married her just because she looks like you



And for every time you knocked me down

She reaches out to help me

And for every time you cursed me

She says darling I love you

It's not the words

Time heals everything

That made my dreams come true

I married her just because she looks like you
