You Matter To Me

I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes

They've seen things 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'll 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'll 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'll see

You matter to me

Dear baby

I hope someday

Somebody wants to hold you for twenty 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 an ounce of selfishness in it

I hope you become addicted, baby

I hope you become addicted to saying things, and

Having them matter to someone

You matter to me

Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody

You matter to me

I promise you do (come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you)

You, you matter too

I promise you do (as long as you'll have me)

You matter to me

I do, promise you do (you matter to me)

You'll see

You matter to me
