You awakin' next to me, tears splashed 'cross the sun
You whisper soft to me that I ain't the only one
To breathe your yella' hair, caress your bosom fair. (raven hair)
Do you think I really care, do you think it matters?
What do your feelin's mean, do you think I'd love you 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.
