[Verse 1]
Tell me something sweet that I'll remember
Look me in the eye when twilight comes
Hold me, we'll reminisce about September
Laughing as my light fades into December
[Verse 2]
We can pick a sign, a secret signal
Simple by design so we’ll both know
Maybe a shooting star off Jupiter
Or pennies in a wishing well, or a puppet in the rain
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Verse 3]
Maybe now’s the time to ask forgiveness
I will beg for yours and I’ll leave you mine
Weaving a tapestry of things unspoken
We’ll lay it down at the feet of all the promises we’ve broken
[Verse 4]
Yeah, take from me my best, how I adore you
Leave behind the liar and the cheat
And promise that kindness is the legacy you'll
Carry, like a hand-me-down until we meet again
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Bridge]
No one sees it coming
We run away, we hide away, we never say
But love keeps humming
Today, today, today
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Outro]
Tell me something sweet that I'll remember
Look me in the eye when twilight comes
Tell me something sweet that I'll remember
Look me in the eye when twilight comes
Hold me, we'll reminisce about September
Laughing as my light fades into December
[Verse 2]
We can pick a sign, a secret signal
Simple by design so we’ll both know
Maybe a shooting star off Jupiter
Or pennies in a wishing well, or a puppet in the rain
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Verse 3]
Maybe now’s the time to ask forgiveness
I will beg for yours and I’ll leave you mine
Weaving a tapestry of things unspoken
We’ll lay it down at the feet of all the promises we’ve broken
[Verse 4]
Yeah, take from me my best, how I adore you
Leave behind the liar and the cheat
And promise that kindness is the legacy you'll
Carry, like a hand-me-down until we meet again
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Bridge]
No one sees it coming
We run away, we hide away, we never say
But love keeps humming
Today, today, today
[Chorus]
I love you, not perfectly, not well
But I love you, I'm leaving soon so fare thee well
I love you, I love you, so let that be the story that you tell
[Outro]
Tell me something sweet that I'll remember
Look me in the eye when twilight comes
