He loves With sweetness and sincerity While she can only pretend
He caresses the hair from her face Thinks to himself such a lovely face Gives his entire self Shares his secrets But it’s all in vain His love for her drowns him In a sea of denial Her fear of being alone Will it keep her there
He loves with sweetness and sincerity While she may only pretend He loves with sweetness and sincerity While she may only pretend
In the morning he reaches out to feel her warmth She pulls away Closes his eyes He’s so ashamed He’s poor in all but truth But what a fool is he To wish for wine in her empty kiss
He loves with sweetness and sincerity While she may only pretend
