[Verse 1]
The silent sun that never shines
She is the warmth of my lonely heart
The motion of a turning wheel

I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you

Can't you see that I'm just outside?
A mountain stream that chills the sea

I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you
[Verse 3]
When night reveals a star-filled sky
I want to hold it in my hands
When snowflakes heal the ugly ground
Your beauty hides the joy I've found
[Chorus]
Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you
