Tell You A Story Songtext

von Greg Brown

I've been thinkin' all about you
Out here on the cold & lonesome road
& sometimes I feel like shoutin'
But I hold it in 'til I get home
& i'm a-gonna throw my arms around you
Make sure that we're all alone
I'm savin' up the dreams that surround you
I'm gonna tell them to you all night long

[chorus]
Oh i'm gonna tell you a story
I'll whisper in your ear soft & low
Baby make a little time for me
It's a story you might like to know
It's about our love & glory
Just needs your imagination to come true
I'm gonna tell you a story
& I ain't gonna tell it to nobody but you

I can't put it in a letter
Can't even tell you on the phone
It's gonna be so much better
When we're together all alone
I'll pour out some champagne wine
Fill our glasses to the top
Then i'm gonna tell you a story
& baby I might never ever stop

[repeat chorus]
