Cat Stevens – How Can I Tell You

“How Can I Tell You” is song by Cat Stevens from the album Teaser and the Firecat, released on October 1, 1971. Written by Cat Stevens.

Love is sometimes a hard emotion to fathom. This sums up the meaning of the lyrics of “How Can I Tell You”. Although that statement is quite basic there is much more to what Stevens is attempting to convey through this song.

In a sense, “How Can I Tell You” is a meditative reflection for Stevens while he is away from the person he loves. Being away allows Stevens to better understand what love truly is and what it means to him. As he further investigates how he feels whilst his lover is away, he comes to the conclusion that “it always adds up to one thing” and love is the only explanation for why he feels the way he does. This discovery of the definition of love is what truly sets “How Can I Tell You” apart from other love songs.

How Can I Tell You este o melodie de pe albumul Teaser and the Firecat, album înregistrat de Cat Stevens în perioada Iulie 1970 și Martie 1971.

Un extraordinar cântec de dragoste, emoționant și trist. Cât Stevens nu doar descrie iubirea pe care o are pentru cineva, dar și modul în care se străduie să-și spună dragostea. Este dilema în care știi ceea ce simți, dragostea pentru cineva, și nu ești în stare să spui asta în cuvinte. Este ceea ce face acest cântec să fie unic, exprimînd adevăratul sentiment al iubirii.

Lyrics/Versuri:
How can I tell you
That I love you
I love you
But I can’t think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I’m always thinking of you
I’m always thinking of you
But my words just blow away
Just blow away

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can’t think of right words to say

Wherever I am girl
I’m always walking with you
I’m always walking with you
But I look and you’re not there

Whoever I’m with
I’m always, always talking to you
I’m always talking to you
And I’m sad that you can’t hear
Sad that you can’t hear

It always ends up to one thing, honey
When I look and you’re not there

I need to know you
Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you
Like a sea around a shore

Each night and day I pray
In hope that I might find you
In hope that I might find you
Because heart’s can do no more
Can do no more

It always ends up to one thing, honey
Still I kneel upon the floor

How can I tell you
That I love you
I love you
But I can’t think of right words to say

I long to tell you
That I’m always thinking of you
I’m always thinking of you

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can’t think of right words to say
