Lyrics
Tell me, Tell me
What's the worst that could occur
If I swallowed down my pride
And gave my life to her?
Tell me, Tell me
Why'd you have to take so long
To come into my world
And fill my soul up with your song?
...and what a sweet, sweet song she sang...
Tell me, Tell me
What on Earth I might have done
To make you love me woman,
Like a new day loves the sun?
...and a new day has begun
...its a brand new day child
don't you let it pass you by...
