How Can I Tell You (Cat Stevens cover) Lyrics

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
How can I tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
But I can't think of right words to say...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song! I can only find the short version, the one thats in the diamonds commercial, this song is powerful, deep and lovely just like the love like a diamond. Cat's voice is lovely and OMFG she's just great!! I really do love this song!!

the length doesn't bother me. if that's all you have to write, why stretch it out and thereby dilute it? there's too much pressure on artists these days to make songs a certain length...short and sweet is fine by me :)

I think she did a great job. Quality NOT length.
