You Matter To Me

I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes
They've seen things you never quite say, but I hear
Come out of hiding, I'm right here beside you
And I'll stay there as long as you'll let me

Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me

It's addictive the minute you let yourself think
The things that I say just might matter to someone
All of this time I've been keeping my mind on the running away
And for the first time, I think I'd consider the stay

Because you matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me
I promise you do, you, you matter too
I promise you do, you'll see
You matter to me

Dear baby
I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight
They don't pull away, they don't look at your face
And they don't try to kiss you
All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness to it
I hope you become addicted, baby
I hope you become addicted to sayin' things
And having them matter to someone

You matter to me
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody
You matter to me

I promise you do

Come out of hiding I'm right here beside you

You, you matter too

As long as you'll have me

I promise you do

I do, promise you do

You matter to me

You matter to me

You'll see
You matter to me
