If I Tell You...

If I tell you I love you would you turn away?
If I kiss you will you kiss me back?

I love the rain.
I love you more than the rain.

If we made love would we ever stop?
If I made love to you would my heart stop?

My heart is aching not knowing.
My heart is pounding because it does know.

If I tell you I love you will you love me?
If I kiss you will you pull me close?

If you turn away I will die.
If you kiss me I will always kiss you back.

If you love the rain,
I'll hold your hand in the rain.

If we made love we would never stop.
My heart wouldn't stop if you made love to me.

Does your heart ever ache not knowing?
Do I ever make your heart beat fast?

If you tell me you love me,
I'll love you forever.

Blind Love

Were I without eyes to see you?
You'd still be the most beautiful thing I know.

Without hands to touch you,
I’d still caress your body so.

Without legs to carry me,
I’d still come to you each night,

And if I had no arms to hold you,
My heart would hold you tight.

If my heart were to burst,
My blood would carry you through.

And if I cannot be with you tonight,
Your soul will always tell you
My love is always true.
