Piano: Brian Ward
Bass: Dave Captein

Clarinet: Matt Taylor

Lyrics:

You ask me to communicate exactly how I feel
It's hard, my dear, articulatin' the level of my zeal
I get all tongue-tied when I try to put into words
This incredible, stupendous, heart-thumping, endless feeling, it's absurd

Chorus:

'Cause it's impossible, my dear, to say how much I love you
It's impossible my dear to say how much I care
It's impossible my dear, I put no one above you
All I know, it's impossible, it's impossible to say
All I know, it's impossible, it's impossible to say

My heart beats like a hammer, my knees a little weak
The view from down here's thrilling
'Cause you've knocked me off my feet
I've had to give up coffee, you're such a stimulant
Moderation's tried to enter in, but it hasn't made a dent

You give me inspiration, you give me such a rush
You give me perspiration, you give me fever
And I blush
You give me what I long for, you give me what I need
You give me all the goodies
And in my heart you've planted the seed

My heart beats like a hammer, my knees a little weak
The view from down here's thrilling
'Cause you've knocked me off my feet
There is no fire greater than that which you ignite
We'll have to be real careful
With the heat we generate at night

(Chorus)

About this tune...

I kept hearing this big band sound with the chorus going through my head. I really wanted to write an upbeat, light, fun “love swing.” My favorite parts are Matt’s saxophone build during the bridge and the “big drums” right after it. Kurt did a great job in finding the right sound for those drums. Very Count Basie. -- Stephanie
