My dearest dear,
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.

Your lonely hours will spread their wings and fly;
The passing show'rs will only pass you by.
If you can trust me, trust the secret in my song.
When love is true
The road is never long.

My dearest dear,
If I could say to you
In words as clear
As when I play to you,
You'd understand
How slight the shadow that is holding us apart.
So take my hand,
I'll lead the way for you.
A little waiting and you'll reach my heart.
