He sits beside her in the evening
She turns and asks him for a light
He worked so hard so he'd be something
Just what it was she never knew
Just what it was she never knew ...
He lays beside her as she's sleeping
She asks if everything's alright
Is there a secret he's been keeping?
She doesn't know anything he says ...
He doesn't feel anything she says ...
I've been waiting for too long
For love like this
For love like this ...
To let it slip away
I've been waiting for your tender kiss
Your tender kiss ...
She says "I just might leave tomorrow."
He says "Tomorrow never comes."
So we'll just learn to love our sorrow
I'll love you tender as you're sleeping
I'll love you bitter through the day ...
