Dm C Dm C
You awakin' next to me, tears splashed 'cross the sun
Dm C Dm G
You whisper soft to me that I ain't the only one
Em Am Em Am
To breathe your yella' hair, caress your bosom fair. (raven hair)
Dm C Dm G
Do you think I really care, do you think it matters?
Dm C Dm C
What do your feelin's mean, do you think I'd love you more,
Dm C Dm G
If you stood pure and clean of those you'd known before?
Em Am Em Am
Would your words be sweeter then, upon November's wind
Dm C Dm G
If you began again, could your smile be softer?
Am Em Am G
Would your eyes more brightly shine, would your laughter be so tender,
Am Em Am G
If you'd been only mine for as long as you remember?
I don't want tears from you, don't build your love on shame.
All that we've done is through and all we can do remains.
My lady can't you see, I love not jealously?
But for all you are to me and all you'll be tomorrow.
