I Will

(album: Still Waters - 1997)

Is this your voice I heard
Speaking' my name, I hang on every word
Every letter that I write, every day every night
But I just can't live and learn
Talking to myself and believing
I could live without you
Living on the lies and believing that love would stay
Listen to me please and I'm beggin on my knees before you
But you don't show the way
No you don't show the way
He may change your world and someday he may break your heart
And you deserve no better
If you love him I will step aside
I offer this to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don't keep you warm
You know I will, you know I will
So this is who you are
And the rest of my life I dedicate to you
And I know that love can't wait
There's a moon and a sun
And a dream that sees me through
A little bit of change and a little bit of my desire
I was shaken all over and I didn't know what to say
I'm the man in the middle and the middle man catches fire
But I don't know how to go away
No I don't know how to go away
He became your hero somehow
I become your clown
And you deserve no better but my love is here
And all I found I offer this to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don't take your heart
You know I will
It ain't wise, it ain't smart
You say there's no doubt about it
If you decide you got somebody else
When I want you to myself
I can't stop, I can't look
I can't say no more about it
But my love will go on
Just as long as the river flows
He will be your king someday
He may let you down
Follow to the letter that my love is real
And what I found I offer it to you
So leave me as I love you still
And if he don't keep you warm
You know I will
