by the numbers

somebody else has tried to count the ways
love can make a heart smile
with practice, i know I can get it right
and learn the smart things to say
but if I make it real simple
try to make it easy for me
so if I send you this message will you
know what I mean by 143?

oh yeah I miss you
I want you
I know why
I find you
in my dreams girl
under a starry sky

and there I kiss you
I hold you
I must try;
a fine way
to help you love me
and stay by my side

when I tell you by the numbers I say
the things I feel inside
you can figure it out if you try
I know you're smart that way

it's not that I cant tell you
with words like normal guys
but I know you'll get the clues
and maybe then you'll realize

how much I miss you
I want you
I know why
I find you
in my dreams girl
under a starry sky

and there I kiss you
I hold you
I must try;
a fine way
to help you love me
and stay by my side
