lyrics

when i think of your sweetness, baby, i don’t know what to do
and when i hear the word kindness, i think of you

if you walked through a garden, flower petals would drop
if you strolled through the city, all the traffic would stop
if you toured a museum, all the art would combust,
it would go up in flame, burn away
if you watched the sunset, it couldn’t do what it must

‘cause the flowers know they can’t compete with the beauty you got
and the drivers couldn’t see the street, you’d tie the traffic in knots
and the artwork it just can’t compare
the sun won’t set while you're standing there

when you look in the mirror, reflection’s envy begins
and photos can’t do you justice, you’re uncaught by lens
if someone tried to paint you, they’d have to give up,
throw away their own canvas mistake
film can’t capture your motion; it just simply pretends

‘cause the mirror, it can’t show your heart, your beauty’s more than skin deep
though a photo just might be a start, a glimpse is all it can keep
and the painting, it can’t catch your grace,
motion pictures don’t honor your face

when i think of your sweetness
when i think of your sweetness
when i think of your sweetness
i don’t know what to do
