Love (As You Speak to Me)

baby
your voice rings in my ears
your face before the eyes of my mind
I realize it was unkind

baby
my tongue was like a knife
that cut into the quick of your heart
a dirty trick done on my part

chorus:
please look the other way
so I can wipe away
the tears from my cheek
now look into my face
then I can see a trace
of love as you speak
to me

baby
I think back to the time
when every spoken word was in love
we only heard the sounds thereof

baby you mean the world to me
but sometimes I don't say what I should
and yesterday it wasn't good

chorus

but you are always good to me
in your love I am free
I am free
