Taking My Life in Your Hands |
| My dear impulsive darling |
| I suspect my letter got to you too late |
| And it’s really just a silly fragment of paper |
| But it means so much to those who wait |
| All the suffering days and nights |
| Till I dare dream again |
| There you suddenly stand and I’ll be damned |
| If you didn’t disappear with the dawn |
| Hours pass and darkness comes |
| Soon I will close my eyes |
| Will you return if you don’t reply |
| You’ll be taking my life in your hands |
| You’ll be taking my life in your hands |
| Taking my life in your hands |
| I don’t know why my dearest darling |
| I can’t tell you how I feel when you are near |
| When I see you have returned my letters unopened |
| I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears |
| But you’re kidding yourself if you think |
| This correspondence will end |
| I can always pretend words I don’t |
| Have the courage to send reach you |
| Hours pass and darkness comes |
| Soon I will close my eyes |
| Will you return if you don’t reply |
| You’ll be taking my life in your hands |
| You’ll be taking my life in your hands |
| Taking my life in your hands |
