Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, i'm as close as i can be
I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise i will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish you could know how much i love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way i do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, i just can't believe it's true
And it's like i've never ever loved before
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise i will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish you could know how much i love you
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, i'm as close as i can be
I swear to you our time has just begun
