[Verse]
G D
Edgar Allan had his talent, but he'll never know
C D G
a way to describe the beauty of you though.
G D
And William Shakespeare had no great fear, when it came to words
C D G
but he had nothing to match that smile of yours.
[Chorus]
C Em D C
If I could find a way, to describe what you meant to me
G C
I'd be better than Shakespeare, I'd be better than Chaucer
C D G
I'd be better than Hemingway, I'd be better than Poe.
G C
Cuz you are brighter than sunlight, drifting through the waves
C D
Projecting rays of gold.
G C
You are better than those, but you are better than prose,
C D G
You are better than Hemingway, you are better than Poe.
[Verse]
G D
Geoffrey Chaucer had a heart for pilgrims on the road
C D G
but for you there is no telling where I'd go.
G D
and Hemingway found inspiration sailing out to sea
C D G
but there is no better muse than you for me.
C Em D C
If I could find a way, to describe what you meant to me
G C
I'd be better than Shakespeare, I'd be better than Chaucer
C D G
I'd be better than Hemingway, I'd be better than Poe.
G C
Cuz you are brighter than sunlight, drifting through the waves
C D
Projecting rays of gold.
G C
You are better than those, but you are better than prose,
C D G
You are better than Hemingway, you are better than Poe.
[Last Chorus]
C Em D C
But I cannot find a way, to describe what you meant to me
G C
Don't have the words to be Shakespeare, don't have the time to be Chaucer
C D G
I'm too boring for Hemingway, can't hold a candle to Poe.
G C
But you're still brighter than sunlight, drifting through the waves
C D
projecting rays of gold.
G C
You are better than those, but you are better than prose.
C D G
You are better than Hemingway, you are better than Poe.
