can't find the words lyrics

The sun shines through my bedroom window
Like a long lost friend
And I can't describe how good it feels to
See him back again

If I were a tender poet
Maybe I could speak
All those lines and perfect phrases
Just beyond my reach

And I'd like to say what's in my heart
But I don't have the nerve
And I'd tell you that I love you
But I just can't find the words

Maybe I could paint a picture
And let the colors show
All I've been keeping to myself yet want
The world to know

Or maybe I could write a letter and keep
It short and sweet
No greeting card type sentiment, just
What you mean to me

And I'd like to say what's in my heart
But I don't have the nerve
And I'd tell you that I love you
But I just can't find the words
