[Verse 1]

I glued back together the broken pieces of a vase you found

Out back of some old abandoned church in a town I don't remember the name

In the middle of Maine, where you came to meet my family

And we raked blueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain

And it wasn't the slightest bit romantic

I guess that's what makes it so

I can't say how much you mean to me


[Chorus]

Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea

I can't say how much you mean to me

Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak

I can't say


[Verse 2]

Sitting on a window, a bluebird on it, nothing in it

There's a piece we never found but I think that's what makes it perfect

And so to put it into words, I can't put into words

No, I can't say

How much you mean to me


[Chorus]

Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea

I can't say how much you mean to me

Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak

I can't say

There's something in your eyes, a secret I must keep

I can't say how much you mean to me

Like trying to describe impossibility

I can't say


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

Some might say "euphoric"

No, there's really no words for it

When a smile grows across your face

Like pieces of a broken vase

Everything falls into place


[Trumpet Solo]


[Chorus]

I can't say

Up on a mountaintop, down by the dark blue sea

I can see how much you mean to me

Open my mouth to talk, but I can hardly speak

I can't say

There's something in your eyes, a secret I must keep

I can't say how much you mean to me

Like trying to describe impossibility

I can't say
