When Words Fail - Brian D'Arcy James

Princess. I

How’s it going first of all

Good

Uh, it’s good for me too

I’m okay

(sung)

I picked this flower

Right over there

Is where it grew

And I don’t really like it

But it made me think of you

Because it’s pretty

Is what I’m trying to say

And you are also pretty

But I like you anyway

So please accept this flower

With its petals and a stem

Which represent my feelings

And tells you how

(spoken)

Oh man I’m in trouble

When words fail

What will I do

When words fail

How will she know how I feel

When words fail

Will I fail too

Hello fair princess

Oh look the moon

Is out tonight

You remind me of that moon

Because it’s big and bright

And by big I don’t mean chubby

Obviously you’re not fat

But your personality is biggish

Is what I meant by that

Sorry 'bout that fat thing

I’m on the hefty side myself

I have to blame the gene pool

Which reminds me of

Oh where I am going with this

When words fail

What will I do

When words fail

How will she know how I feel

When words fail

Will I fail too'

Do I have a snowball’s chance

Are my prospects just too grim

I spent my life stuck in the mud

Now I’m crawling out on a limb

If words fail

She’ll know what I mean

If words fail

She’ll just take my hand

She sees me like no one else has

If words fail

She’ll understand

She’ll understand
