[Intro]
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm
Listen, baby by time you get this letter
I'll be gone, but I left something for you on the pillow
Put this tape in, press play
I love ya

[Verse 1]
It's four in the morning
And I'm sitting here at night
I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind
I'm leaving in an hour
And you won't be up in time to say goodbye (so whoa)
I'm putting this on tape (baby you're wonderful)
I really mean it babe (more than you will ever know)
I wish that I could stay (but I got to go)
I'll be back but in the meantime
Keep in mind that

[Chorus]
You are
Is something to big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you
For better or worse
Cause what you are
A beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget
Girl you are better than (anything)
I ever had
You are the perfect love
Never give you up
Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath
Take it all until there's nothing's left
Because baby you are
[Bridge]
Now no man has ever loved his woman
More than I love you
Girl you know it's true
And no man can ever say
He does a woman better than I do you
That ain't true (here's what I do)
Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week
Take you shopping whenever
More importantly
Wrap my loving arms around you
To reassure everything I felt that first night
I feel it more

[Chorus]
You are
Is something to big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you
For better or worse
Cause what you are
A beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget
Girl you are better than (anything)
I ever had
You are the perfect love
Never give you up
Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath
Take it all until there's nothing's left
Because baby you are
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You are
Is something to big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you
For better or worse
Cause what you are
A beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget
Girl you are better than (anything)
I ever had
You are the perfect love
Never give you up
Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath
Take it all until there's nothing's left
Because baby you are

[Outro]
You are [repeat until fade]
