Let Me Count the Ways Songtext
von Michael Franks

When I met you I was blind
Underneath a dark cloud couldn′t find the blue
And I wasn't sure quite what to do
I wore my heart upon my sleeve

Disappointed I could not believe at last
That I had finally shaken off the past with you
I don′t know how you trapped me
All I know is now I'm happy

Let me reveal
All the feelings that I feel
When I love you
Let me count the ways

Let me explain
Every image in my brain
How I love you
Let me count the ways


You are a part
Of the rhythms of my heart
And I love you
Let me count the ways

And when I stray
You are never far away
Cause I love you
Let me count the ways

My love song was never played
Till you came along and your love made me ring
Now it's only you for whom I sing
If I wrote you a different song each day

Still I know I never could repay your love
Falling like an angel from above to me
And now I′m never lonely, no
Now it′s forever only you

Let me reveal
All the feelings that I feel
When I love you
Let me count the ways


Let me explain
Every image in my brain
How I love you
Let me count the ways

You are a part
Of the rhythms of my heart
And I love you
Let me count the ways

And when I stray
You are never far away
Cause I love you
Let me count the ways

You can't imagine what your love means
It′s like the poet says
How can I say how much I love thee
Let me count the ways

Let me reveal
All the feelings that I feel
When I love you
Let me count the ways

Let me explain
Every image in my brain
How I love you
Let me count the ways

You are a part
Of the rhythms of my heart
And I love you
Let me count the ways

And when I stray
You are never far away
Cause I love you
Let me count the ways

Let me reveal
All the feelings that I feel
When I love you
Let me count the ways

Let me explain
Every image in my brain
How I love you
Let me count the ways

You are a part
Of the rhythms of my heart
And I love you
Let me count the ways

And when I stray
You are never far away
Cause I love you
Let me count the ways
