7. You’re always there II
In the evenings when I’m tired and weary
And my feelings overcome my sense
Yet you seem prepared for me
And can suffer my pretence
I don’t know why you never leave me
Surely you see me through and through
Yet my shallow dull old ways
Still seem precious to you
You’re always there
And you always care
And when you say you’d give anything
I’m so afraid that you mean it
I know I should give all to you
But still I hesitate
Yet you take my partial love
And something total you create
Forgive me when I take the trouble
To make it seem that you’re not there
Yet you will still try to reach me
And it’s more than I can bear
Sometimes I only love the morning
Find myself forgetting you
Yet the love that lets me love that morning
Is the only love that’s true
I find it so hard to show them
You and me in our true light
Yet the weakness of our love
Is the measure of our might
A life that’s shared
Is a life that’s bared
And when we said we’d give anything
I’m so happy that we’ve seen it
That we’ve seen it
Through
