Lyric Second lovers song

by Townes Van Zandt

You re wakin next to me
tears splash across the sun
you whisper soft to me
that I ain t the only one
to breathe your yellow hair
caress your bosom fair
Do you think I really care?
Do you think it matters?


What do your feelin s mean?
Do you think I d love more
if you stood pure and clean
of those you d known before
Would your words be sweeter then
upon November s wind
if you began again
could your smile be softer?
Would your eyes more brightly shine?
Would your laughter be so tender
if you d been only mine
for as long as you remember?


I don t want tears from you
don t build your love on shame
all what we ve done is through
and all we can do remains
my lady can t you see
I love not jealously
but for all you are to me
and all you ll be tomorrow
