​of Montreal - Sing You a Love You Song lyrics

Before the laughter and the cheer
Dissolved into his memory
Taste of vodka on his lips
And thoughts of murder and doom
As her eyes appeared to bloom
He wanted to touch them, but was afraid
She might be taken aback then
What would he say?

They walked to the garden in the park
When it was empty after dark
Then spread out a blanket and laid down
And a voice said no one else could hear
He whispered in her ear
"Although I can't sing it now be still
'Cause some day, baby, I will
Sing you a love you song" oh, oh, oh oh

She rolled over and a kiss
Laid softly on his chin and said
"You know maybe there's a chance
That your feelings you've mistook
Or have presently overlooked
You say you don't love me, but yet
Perhaps you just forget that you do"

He said that, "I love you please believe
The only matter of concern is that
Your love will one day fade
If that should happen I would die
And that's the reason why
I know I can't sing it now but be still
'Cause some day, baby, I will
Sing you a love you song" oh, oh, oh oh

She said, "How could you question
When the root of my affection
Is so plain and obvious?
It grew from the overwhelming pleasure
Of just being near you
And now you bring in doubts and
They are smothering our love!"
