Lover

When you held your hand to my heart

Dear you did something grand to my heart

And we played the scene to perfection

Though we didn't have the time to rehearse

Since you took control of my life

You have become the whole of my life

When you are away its awful

And when you are with me its worse

Lover, when I'm near you

And I hear you speak my name

Softly in my ear

You breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing

Keep on glancing in my eyes

Til love's only trancing music dies

All of my future is in you

You're every plan I design

Promise you'll always continue

To be mine

Lover, please be tender

When your tender fears depart

Lover, I surrender to my heart

Well I say that the devil is in you

And to resist you I try

But if you didn't continue

I would die

Lover, please be tender

When your tender fears depart

Lover, I surrender to my heart

To my heart, lover
