And yet if you should walk away,
The pleasure lost would not be slight...
Are there words that I could say,
To calm your soul, your doubts allay,
So reservations may take flight?
I know it's true you cannot stay
But what we could do... If I may?
Unveil this body to your sight...
Are there words that I could say?
We'd fly full-force into the fray
To drown among the sheets so white --
I know it's true you cannot stay.
Yet dearest, I would have you lay
Beside me... If I shape them right,
Are there words that I could say?
I know it's true; you cannot stay.
