Lyrics
TO LOVE YOU RIGHT
(CLIFFORD FRY , DOUGLAS SHARP)
I lied when I said that the past was dead
For its memory had just laid asleep
I'd cast out the bitter and kept only the sweet
In a place I thought no one could reach
CHORUS:
But those visions of you in that light summer dress
With that ribbon that you wore in your hair
To love you right would take the whole night
And I don't know if I dare
Memories are pleasure and memories are pain
Some are best left asleep
Our time was then but it can be again
If you'll only follow my lead
You came to me with a wish plain to see
Then you knelt down at my feet
And I saw clearly as the night passed away
Just how the stem held the leaf
Repeat CHORUS
Around and around the seasons have turned
And here we lie once again
The doubt and the dread and this big perfumed bed
Have shown us a place to begin
But my fear is like the scratching of a cat on a screen
Or the noise of an old county fair
'Cause to love you right would take the whole night
And I don't know if I dare
But those visions of you in that light summer dress
With that ribbon that you wore in your hair
To love you right would take the whole night
To love you right would take my whole life
To love you right would take my whole life
And I don't know if I dare
