But, my love!
Watch, love, do you see the rising sun?
Dawn illuminates my midnight skin
Blushing puddles pool 'round my grin
Oh, it's melting me, but you still can't see
What your presence seems to do to me
Look, love, my hands, how they tremble!
No, it's not from this cold winter's blow
But that is what you think
So I'm left to agree, cause you still don't know
The littlest things you do to me
And, oh, how I try not to let them show...
Listen closely, love, to my sputtering heartbeat
Lean in near enough to hear the sound...
But I would never ask of such a thing
My hopes fall with the snow, silently to the ground
But, my love!
Don't you understand? Don't you see?
Oh, I can only dream of you knowing
How to tell you...?
Passion runs, roars like the sea
The sun is now climbing 'cross the sky
Pulling out the blue in your eyes
I'm left tucking my trembling hands in my coat
Left trying to cover up my aching sighs
Oh, my love! How this pains me, so!
I turn my blushing face the other way
But still my heart beats onward for you...
Oh, it says what I could never say
