You Have My Attention

by Copeland

(In Motion, 2005)

Quiet now.

Your voice sings miles away

but somehow I hear yo

ur song resound

A little bit softer each day

And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away.

I’ll sing along

The whole day through.

Just do your best to hear me.

It’s all you can do.

You have my attention

Like you’ve had all the while,

Since that first day when you made my heart smile,

With loving eyes and tired sighs that follow.

You have my attention

Like a shout through an empty sanctuary.

Speak but a whisper;

I’ll hear a sermon

I’ll sing along

the whole day through.

Just do your best to hear me.

It’s all you can do.

I’ll sing along

the whole night through.

While you sleep safely,

I’ll be thinking about you.

You have my attention.
