WITH YOU

WITH YOU

What is love, what does it do,

When you've known no love at all?

What if it's frightening, if you fall

For one unreachable as you?

I never knew what loving meant,

What all these feelings do inside

How at once torn, sick, sad and light;

How painful, delightful, torment.

If I love you, please guarantee

- Please wrap that fragile heart of mine

In cellophane, that looks so fine... -

To not feel so alone with me.

What is love, how does it feel:

Is all my heartbeat meant for you?

All warmth inside, for you too?

This all, in you and me, is real?

I am afraid, I never knew

What love is, you must teach me,

Every step, patience, I plea!

So I can love you too.
