Lyrics

Don't be afraid that what was, won't be, it's gone in me. My love's the same
I should know better then to let you feel, my dear, like I have changed.
It's been time since I told you dear, being sincere, how much you mean, you mean to me

And, my darling, you should know my love's as strong as long ago
And do forgive me if that's hard to see. Lately I've been bad to you
But no one loves you like I do And, girl, I can understand you tears
But tonight I'll calm your fears.

Don't drift away just because at times my words and rhymes have been to few
I forget just sometimes how much it means to say, "I love you too."
And the silence in my mind does not reflect the love that's in my heart
Your despair is the fault of one who loves you and it breaks my heart.

And, my darling, you should know my love's as strong as long ago
And do forgive me if that's hard to see. Lately I've been bad to you
But no one loves you like I do. And, girl, I can understand you tears. . . .

And I know right now that there's not much (I can say)
To excuse the pain I caused you, babe, (day by day)
When I don't tell you now how much I care. And I'm to blame. . .
But I love you. I love you just the same.

You should know that it hurts me just as much as you to see you cry
And I wish there were more to me my darling than what meets the eye
And I swear, girl, to spite my faults I try so hard to treat you well. As best I can

And, my darling, you should know my love's as strong as long ago
And do forgive me if that's hard to see.
Lately I've been bad to you, but no one loves you like I do
And, girl, I can understand your tears, but tonight I'll calm your fears.

So tonight know I love you. Please forgive me, and let?s start again.
