Lyrics

BY THE WAY

By the way you said goodnight,
I thought it was goodnight for good
By the way you said "I'm leaving" baby,
I almost thought you would
But when I finished saying everything
to make you want to stay
Did I tell you that I love you, by the way

By the way,
Your love surrounds me when you're smiling
Like the way,
The water wraps around an island
Did I say,
If I was lost and heard you crying
I would rush back right away

By the way,
I'd like to hold you, dear, forever
I will stay,
With you through clear or stormy weather
If I may,
While we're holding close together
Did I tell you that I love you, by the way

By the way I was so selfish,
did you think I had no love to share
By the way I was so careless,
did you think I didn't care
But when I finished giving reasons
why I'd still be here when we're gray
Did I tell you that I love you, by the way

By the way,
Your love surrounds me when you're smiling
Like the way,
The water wraps around an island
Did I say,
If I was lost and heard you crying
I would rush back right away

By the way,
I'd like to hold you, dear, forever
I will stay,
With you through clear or stormy weather
If I may,
While we're holding close together
Did I tell you that I love you, by the way
