[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

[Verse 1]
I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn't know it's you
At your most beautiful

[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

[Verse 2]
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know your closed eye watching me
Listening
I thought I saw a smile

[Chorus]
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
