He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she can only pretend
He caresses the hair from her face
Thinks to himself such a lovely face
Gives his entire self
Shares his secrets
But it's all in vain
His love for her drowns him
In a sea of denial
Her fear of being alone
Will it keep her there
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
In the morning he reaches out to feel her warmth
She pulls away
Closes his eyes
He's so ashamed
He's poor in all but truth
But what a fool is he
To wish for wine in her empty kiss
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
He loves with sweetness and sincerity
while she may only pretend
