The Way That You Are

THE WAY THAT YOU ARE

Ocean roll in, ocean roll out

Sometimes I wonder just what you’re about

They say you’re a body of love energy

Oh, but you look like an ocean to me

I like the way that you lean to the shore

But you always let go like you’ve been there before

They say you’re illusion, I say you’re an ocean

I hope you never go far

‘Cause I love you the way that you are

Puffy old clouds float through the sky

I love to watch you…I don’t know why

They say that you’re water drawn up from the sea

Oh, but you look just like clouds there to me

I like how you roll and you change with the wind

And the full moon behind you moves me from within

They say that you’re vapor, I say that you’re clouds

And you make me pick up my guitar

‘Cause I love you the way that you are

Stars in the heaven, stars in the night

I wish I may love you with all of my might

They say that you’re rocks up in space spinning free

Oh, but you look just like stars there to me

I love you forever like you were my own kin

Though they say that you can’t support life from within

But they say that you’re rocks, I say that you’re stars

You made me look up so far

And I love you the way that you are

Now all is in motion, can you feel it breathe, 

Oh I never would change you…I couldn’t conceive 

Of anything more perfect than what I believe

Is an ocean, a cloud, and a star

‘Cause I love you the way that you are

Yes, I love you the way that you are
