you be my woman
and I’ll be your man
tell me your secrets
and I’ll understand
‘cause no will know you
and no one can show you
the unflinching love
that I can
we weren’t really looking
when we crossed our paths
though merely existing
we never looked back
but when our hearts focused
we couldn’t deny
long searched for soul mate
in the other one’s eyes
come here pretty lady
where do we go now
we’re locked in our lives
and can’t really get out
you’re throwing me kisses
across the blue sky
I can’t catch a thought
without you by my side
you be my woman
and I’ll be your man
I’ll tell you my secrets
know you’ll understand
‘cause no will know me
and no one can show me
the unflinching love
that you can
now Indian summer
has surprised the fields
and poor butterflies
are awakened too soon
they know it’s not spring
but they don’t really care
what is real
winter’s upon us
so, we have to blossom
and shine like a nova
before we’re forgotten
we have to love hard
and without regret
we don’t have the time
that most lovers get
let’s unlock these shackles
please take my hand
squeeze a lifetime of loving
in such a short span
‘cause no will know you
and no one can show you
the unflinching love
that I can
‘cause no will know you
and no one will show you
the unending love
that I can
