Dearest love, don't look at me so anxiously. Don't you fret, there's really nothing wrong with me. And if there's a teardrop glistening in my eye Maybe I am crying cause I want to cry... How to tell you everything I feel inside? Strong and confident, but also petrified. Let me hold you tight and rock you at my breast, Whisper in your ear what you've already guessed. Now my tears are flowing Now at last they can. There'll be no more secrets, From my darling, my darling man. Hold me close forever, hold me night and day And then promise me you'll never go away Hold me tighter. I'm so weary, and I've got so much to do But be sure that I will always think of you Every time I look at him - for there you'll be With your eyes, your likeness, looking back at me Your likeness....
