Bold Face

When words have failed us

And I've stated every case,

Blue in the face, blue in the face

To no avail, I'll still rephrase it one more way

In blacks and whites, and blacks and grays

And you will reread it when I'm gone

And words are all that I've become

You may believe it when you see it

With a bolder face

So please just take this

And once you read it put it in

A dusty place for rainy day

Because time will take us

And I fear that all the facts of us will fade,

These words will stay

And you will reread it when I'm gone

And words are all that I've become

You may believe it when you see it

With a bolder face

In a million years from now

They'll excavate a love so great

A love so...

And you will reread it when we're gone

And words are all that we've become

When words have failed us and we're done,

I loved you more than anyone

And you will reread it when I'm gone

And words are all that I've become

And you will believe it when you see it

With a bolder face
