If you would only call me once, br And write a letter too; br It might just end the pain I feel br That comes from loving you. br br If you would only be my friend, br And when you see me smile; br You'd bring me happiness unbound br And make my life worthwhile. br br If you would only come one time, br And sit down by my side; br I'd tell you things you'll never hear br That others choose to hide. br br If you would only hold my hand, br As I prepare to go; br And kiss my cheek one final time, br That's all I'd have to know. br br Yes, all I need from you my dear br Is just to know you care; br Then I'll have joy for all my life br And still have some to spare. br br Then with such joy, I'll surely be br Delivered from my plight; br And go to sleep, contented then br To sleep alone at night. br br Yes, if you did these simple things, br That's all I would require; br Then I could live without it quenched, br The love that I desire.
