I might not be the waves
On the California shore
That once gave you the ride
That you were looking for

And I might not be the snow
On the Colorado slopes
That sent you down a mountain
Fast as you could go

I’m not a big adventure
Or a dream come true;
This isn’t a love song
But it’s the best that I can do

Babe, I’m not a comic
Telling jokes upon a stage
No, I can’t always put a smile
On your pretty face

And I’m not your favorite actress
In your favorite film
That can distract you from your life
When it’s feeling dim

I’m not a 5-star dinner
On a private yacht
And this isn’t a love song
But love, it’s all I’ve got
She said: it’s no Beethoven’s symphony
Or a million-dollar tune
But if you want
To prove you love me
All you have to do—

Is hold me every morning
And kiss me every night
Be honest and listen, and admit
When you’re not right

You don’t have to be the ocean
You don’t have to be the breeze
You just have to be yourself
To give me what I need

‘Cause if it’s my name
That you’re singing
When you close your eyes to dream that could be your love song
And that’s good enough for me

Yeah, if it’s my name
That you’re singing
When you close your eyes to dream then that could be your love song
And that’s good enough for me
