Difficult Loves

Come here, my girl
For there's something that I'd like to say
That I can't live without you
And I'd die if you went away
And that I'd like to take you and hold you so tight
But I cannot say it, though try as I might
And it's not as if it's a difficult task
For there is another thing I cannot ask

And I wonder
If you saw me, would you kiss me?
If I held you, would you shudder
In the way that I do?
Ah, tell me, would you?

Well, you dream in color
But me, I dream in black and white
And you dream you're the star
But when I dream, I wake in the night
And imagine that I've lost the power to speak
I try to cry out but it makes me feel weak
But if I had the words, to you I would go
But I'd rather not ask and to hear you say no

And I wonder
If you saw me, would you kiss me?
If I held you, would you shudder
In the way that I do?
Ah, tell me, would you?

Well, the worlds we come from
Oh, my darling, they're so far apart

And that it couldn't work
Well, it's something I knew from the start

Still, if wishes were fishes
I'm worth a whole school
And if longing was money
I'm a fat, wealthy fool
And though I see you often
It's when we're apart
The thought of your sad eyes in mirror breaks my heart

And I wonder
If you saw me, would you kiss me?
If I held you, would you shudder
In the way that I do?
Ah, tell me, would you?
If you saw me, would you kiss me?
If I held you, would you shudder
In the way that I do?
Ah, tell me, would you?

C'mon, answer me true
Ah, tell me, would you?
What else could you do?
Oh, tell me
Oh, tell me
Oh, tell me
Oh, pray tell, would you?
Oh, my darling, would you?
My poor darling, would you?
