The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna write you a song
One as beautiful as you are sweet
With just a hint of pain for the feeling that I get when you are gone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna lend you my coat
One that's as soft as your cheek
So when the world is cold you'll have a hiding place you can go
I wanna lend you my coat
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do
I wanna build you a boat
One as strong as you are free
So any time you think that your heart is gonna sink, you know it won't
I wanna build you a boat
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do
Everything I need I get from you
And giving back is all I wanna do
I wanna write you a song
One to make your heart remember me
So any time I'm gone, you can listen to my voice and sing along
I wanna write you a song, I wanna write you a song
