lyrics

I can read and I can spell
Learned it between schoolyard bells
Teacher did and Teacher said
and put the language in my head.

Spanish, French, Vietnamese
German, Dutch and Cherokee
If I had learned to speak all these
Still there'd be this missing piece.

But you must never wonder why
I so like to be by your side
My heart says a thing and you understand
You cross the bridge, you speak my language.

I may speak with eloquence
But the listener just seems rendered deaf
Looks at me as if I'm dumb
Despite the common idiom

But you must never wonder why
I so like to be by your side
My heart says a thing and you understand
You cross the bridge, you speak my language.
