| You look for truth with hopeful eyes
|
| You’re asking me to tell you lies
|
| You need to hear me say the words
|
| I love you
|
| And God, you know I wish I did
|
| How can I ask what I can’t give?
|
| And without love, how can I live?
|
| I need you
|
| So I’ll look straight into your eyes
|
| And tell you sweet convincing lies
|
| For sympathy a child cries
|
| And breaks a woman’s heart
|
| Are breezes lost that blow one way?
|
| Are seeds that fall on stony ground to waste?
|
| Do falling stars all fall in haste
|
| For nothing?
|
| Oh no, you can’t lose the love you sow
|
| It may take root or never grow
|
| But in your heart you’ll always know
|
| It’s planted
|
| So I’ll look straight into your eyes
|
| And tell you sweet convincing lies
|
| For sympathy a child cries
|
| And breaks a woman’s heart
|
| No, you can’t lose the love you sow
|
| It may take root or never grow
|
| But in your heart you’ll always know
|
| It’s planted
|
| So I’ll look straight into your eyes
|
| And tell you sweet convincing lies
|
| For sympathy a child cries
|
| And breaks a woman’s heart
|
| Convincing lies
|
| Convincing lies |
| Convincing lies
|
| Convincing lies |
