There was a blue eyed hint of morning
As I scraped the frost from my car
And you were still inside fast asleep
On the couch
The same couch where we talked forever
And fell asleep to the TV light
Til I’d awake and stumble up to let
Myself out
And
at the time I didn’t know it
And if I had I still could not have shown it
That was love mostly unexpressed
And the best I could do
Was just hold you
And as I drove away in that blue light
I couldn’t keep a smile from my face
In all that kept me coming back again
To your house
I guess your Mom and Dad could read it
I can’t believe how they trusted me
To just fall asleep with you in my arms
On the couch
And at the time I didn’t know it
And if I had I stll could not have shown it
That was love mostly unexpressed
And the best I could do
Was just hold you
Now I have a daughter and so do you
She’s sweet and smart and love is new
And tonight I watched a boy hold her hand
On the couch
And I swear that I could feel your cheek
And your sleeping face in the TV light
And I’ll try to read what love cannot express
When it’s young
‘Cause at the time I didn’t know it
And if I had I still could not have shown it
That was love mostly unexpressed
And the best I could do
Was just hold you
