By townes van zandt
Youre wakin next to me
Tears splash across the sun
You whisper soft to me
That I aint the only one
To breathe your yellow hair
Caress your bosom fair
Do you think I really care?
Do you think it matters?
What do your feelins mean?
Do you think Id love more
If you stood pure and clean
Of those youd known before
Would your words be sweeter then
Upon novembers wind
If you began again
Could your smile be softer?
Would your eyes more brightly shine?
Would your laughter be so tender
If youd been only mine
For as long as you remember?
I dont want tears from you
Dont build your love on shame
All what weve done is through
And all we can do remains
My lady cant you see
I love not jealously
But for all you are to me
And all youll be tomorrow
