Second Lover's Song

You're wakin' next to me

Tears splash across the sun

You whisper soft to me

That I ain't 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 feelings mean?

Do you think I'd love more

If you stood pure and clean

Of those you'd known before

Would your words be sweeter then

Upon November's wind

If you began again

Could your smile be softer?

Would your eyes more brightly shine?

Would your laughter be so tender?

If you'd been only mine

For as long as you remember?

I don't want tears from you

Don't build your love on shame

All that we've done is through

And all we can do remains

My lady can't you see

I love not jealously

But for all you are to me

And all you'll be tomorrow
