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 |
