I could find the whole meaning of life
In those sad eyes...
They've seen things
That you never quite say, but I hear...
Come out of hiding,
I'm right here beside you,
And I'll stay there,
As long as you let me...
Because you matter to me...
Simple and plain,
And not much to ask from somebody...
You matter to me,
I promise you do, you,
You matter, too,
I promise you do, you see?
You matter to me...
It's addictive the minute
You let yourself think
The things that I say
Just might matter to someone...
All of this time,
I've been keeping my mind
On the running away,
And for the first time,
I think I'd consider the stay...
Because you matter to me...
Simple and plain,
And not much to ask from somebody...
You matter to me,
I promise you do, you,
You matter, too,
I promise you do, you see?
You matter to me...
"Dear Baby...
I hope someday,
If somebody wants to hold you
for 20 minutes straight...
They don't pull away,
They don't look at your face,
and they don't try to kiss you...
All they do
is wrap you up in their arms,
and hold on tight
without a ounce of selfishness to it.
I hope you become addicted, Baby...
I hope you become addicted
to sayin' things,
and havin' them matter to someone..."
And you matter to me...
Simple and plain,
And not much to ask from somebody...
You matter to me...
I promise you do, you,
(Come out of hiding,
I'm right here beside you)
You matter, too,
(As long as you'll have me)
I promise you do!
(I do, I promise you do!)
You matter to me...
(You matter to me)
You see...
You matter to me...
