‘m just a child, if for argument’s sake
And I’m always asleep when you’re lying awake
When I’m dreaming of you, are you thinking of me?
‘Cause I smile in my sleep and half-hope that you’ll see
Remember my darling, I told you the truth
And I meant it sincerely in spite of my youth
If you’re not one to run with the green and uncouth
Then I won’t be that kind
And while we’re both still here
Yours is the only voice I want to hear
And till our time runs out
Here’s to hoping my faith will dispel all your doubts
I was aware that you cared what I thought
So I smiled at you slowly and said, “There’s a lot
You should know, but I’m not going to say it aloud
And I’ll tеll you someday, but be patient for now.”
But if you’d just listеned, boy, you would have heard
I concealed all the truth in the guise of the words-
That if you are a bird, let God make me a bird so to follow your song
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And while we’re both still here
Yours is the only voice I want to hear
And till our time runs out
Here’s to hoping my faith will dispel all your doubts
And you would have known, darling, had you been there
There were twenty love poems and one song of despair
And one shaking somnambulist wondering where she had wandered tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
