Lyrics
Tell Me, Please
Will you still speak to me low, tell me I am the only one
you want to be in your life?
Will you still think of us, when you hear the word trust?
Will our love last and live in this new century? Tell me.
What is the secret of love everlasting, is it simply casting
the right one as your mate?
Or, could it be fate, could it be heaven blest?
Will we all pass the test when we're faced with the best?
Tell me, please, tell me true:
tell me do; will I always love you?
Are we here for the long haul?
Why am I filled with such fear,
why do I need to hear you will
always be with me, my dear? Tell me.
Tell me, please, tell me true:
tell me do; will I always love you?
Are we here for the long haul?
How can it be you love me? What were
you thinking of, when you said you'd
give me all your love? Tell me.
Am I as vital to your life as you are to mine,
why did we come together in time?
Is it only the luck of the draw, is it more?
Can there be some great law that made our symmetry?
Tell me, please, tell me true:
tell me do; will I always love you?
Are we here for the long haul?
What in the world did I do, to deserve
such devotion from you; tell me do,
tell me, true. Tell me, please.
