Dear Marianne, as a friend and a confidant   I'd like to tell you my thoughts   Sent as a gentle gift, my lips are tentative      Do you remember our talks in the coffee shops   You wanted so much to believe   Then came the day when the light overcame the dark   You were seeing clearly then   Did you really understand      All of these years I have worried and wondered   What's become of you   But all of these years haven't taken my love from you   Try to understand   My dear Marianne      Sometimes I say too much, many times not enough   I'd like to find that fine line   Where He gives us time to grow, room to fall gracefully   Are you really in His hands   Can you tell me Marianne      Cause all of these years I have worried and wondered   What's become of you   But all of these years haven't taken my love from you   Try to understand   My dear Marianne      All of these years I have worried and wondered   What's become of you   But all of these years haven't taken my love from you   Try to understand   My dear Marianne
