Tell me now you cannot see
The grey among the gold
Tell me I am where you'll be
On nights so very cold
Pay scant regard to set crows feet
That crept to grip my eyes
Kiss me twice each time we meet
Yet feign the odd surprise
Make me your destination
When you are far away
Let me see no hesitation
In anything you say
Remind me not of fallen tears
That washed away some care
To echo back through many years
When you were always there
Yet as we pass along life's road
To find we've been before
Remembering this loving code
But forgetting to keep score
To me you are the boy once seen
That stole my heart away
To you I am still seventeen
And will be every day
So little need to tell white lies
Say you see what you do not
Of ravaged time in compromise
A slim figure not forgot
Just tell me that you love me now
And make me feel so sure
With a blood red rose upon the snow
You left outside my door |
