Before the laughter and the cheer    Dissolves into his memory   Taste of vodka on his lips   And thoughts of murder and doom   Her eyes appeared to bloom   He wanted to touch them but was afraid    She'd be taken aback    Then what would he say?      They walked to the garden in the park    When it was empty after dark    Then spread out a blanket and laid down    And in a voice that no one else could hear    He whispered in her ear   "Although I can't sing it now, be still   Someday, baby, I will   Sing you a love you song"      She rolled over and a kiss    Laid softly on his chin    And said, "You know maybe there's a chance    That your feelings you've mistook    Or have presently overlooked   You say you don't love me   But yet perhaps you just    Forgot that you do"      He said that, "I love you, please believe    The only matter of concern    Is that your love will one day fade   If that should happen I would die   And that's the reason why    I know I can't sing it now, but be still    Because someday, baby, I will    Sing you a love you song"      She said, "How could you question    When the root of my affection    Is so plain and obvious?    It grew from the overwhelming pleasure    Of just being near you    And now you bring in doubts    And they are smothering our love!"
