They tell me it won’t work

they tell me it won’t last

they say I’m a fool

I’m moving too fast

I have listened

and I have learned

I know when you are in love

It’s easy to get burned

There are no promises

all we have are compromises

they don’t understand

that what I want is

to ask for your hand

You are the only one

that has ever made

me feel like living

you are the only one

that has ever

given me anything

without taking something

It pains me so

to say I have to go

I don’t want to hurt you

I only want my love to show

And although I am

full of hurt and guilt

I hope you understand

my love for you

will never wilt
