Dm          C           Dm                        C
You awakin' next to me, tears splashed 'cross the sun
Dm          C          Dm                     G
You whisper soft to me that I ain't the only one
Em                     Am    Em          Am
To breathe your yella' hair, caress your bosom fair.  (raven hair)
Dm           C               Dm                   G
Do you think I really care, do you think it matters?
Dm           C              Dm                        C
What do your feelin's mean, do you think I'd love you more,
Dm           C              Dm             G
If you stood pure and clean of those you'd known before?
        Em                          Am   Em               Am
	Would your words be sweeter then, upon November's wind
        Dm       C          Dm                  G
	If you began again, could your smile be softer?
        Am                   Em              Am                        G
	Would your eyes more brightly shine, would your laughter be so tender,
        Am            Em        Am                 G
	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 that 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.
