I Want to Sing
Regina Spektor
11:11 (2001)

I want to sing to you, my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue, so blue, my love
Take off your shoes
Take off my dress

I want to sing to you, my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue, so blue, my love
This too shall pass
This too shall pass

But tell me, tell me, what
Have I done to deserve you?
Must have done something
'Cause that's how it works
Must have been kind to kittens and birds
In a previous life, must have thought happy thoughts
Happy thoughts

'Cause there
You were there right beside me
Then somehow inside me while inside myself
Books on the shelf
Thoughts on the shelf
Hands to myself
I should definitely keep my hands to myself

'Cause love is a dangerous pastime
Caught between madness and gladness of flight
Nothing is wrong and nothing is right
Falling asleep in your arms every night

But love's such a strange situation
Full of frustration and anger and fear
Everything's tears
Nobody hears
Nobody's here
And nobody hears

I want to sing to you, my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue, so blue, my love
Take off your shoes
Take off my dress

I want to sing to you, my love
My only love and happiness
Don't be so blue, so blue, my love
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
