"Sing You A Love You Song" lyrics - OF MONTREAL

OF MONTREAL
"Sing You A Love You Song"

Before the laughter and the cheer
Dissolves into his memory, taste of vodka on his lips
And thoughts of murder and doom, as her eyes appeared to bloom
He wanted to touch them but was afraid
She might be taken aback then what would he say?

They walked to the garden in the park
When it was empty after dark
Then spread out a blanket and laid down
And a voice said no one else could hear
He whispered in her ear, "Although I can't sing it now
Be still
'Cause some day baby I will
Sing you a love you song
Ohhh, ohhh, ohh ohhhh"

She rolled over and a kiss
Laid softly on his chin and said
"You know maybe there's a chance
That your feelings you've mistook or have presently overlooked
You say you don't love me, but yet
Perhaps you just forget
That you do."

He said that, "I love you
Please believe
The only matter of concern is that your love will one day fade
If that should happen I would die, and that's the reason why
I know I can't sing it now but be still
'Cause some day baby I will
Sing you a love you song
Ohhh, ohhh, ohh ohhhh"

She said, "How could you question
When the root of my affection is so plain and obvious?
It grew from the overwhelming pleasure of just being near you
And now you bring in doubts and they are smothering our love!"
