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
