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 in it I hope you become addicted, baby I hope you become addicted to sayin' things 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 to (As long as you'll have me) I promise you do, you matter to me You'll see You matter to me
