if i could wrap you
in silver and gold
bind you up tightly
with ribbons and bows
if i could somehow
preserve you
then would i then would i
somehow deserve you?
maybe i fell too soon
maybe my love was not
meant for you
maybe we all have
a little more left to learn
we've got a lot less to lose
if i could hold you
with a lover's touch
no words could describe
what's inside and besides
we don't say very much
if i seemed a bit
unsure at times
it's all i can do to
remember my name
when i've got you in sight
maybe i fell too soon
maybe my love was not
meant for you
maybe we all have
a little more left to learn
we've got a lot less to lose
we don't make promises
and we don't break promises
but if you should come to me
i'll be here
i promise it
silver and gold
dance in your eyes
how long is a day in the dark?
dance with me tonight
maybe i fell too soon
maybe my love was not
meant for you
maybe we all have
a little more left to learn
we've got a lot less to lose
we've got a lot less to lose
