He sits behind her in the evening
She turns and asks him for a light
He worked so hard so he'd be something
Just what it was she never knew
He lays beside her as she's sleeping
She asks if everything's alright
Is there a secret he's been keeping?
She doesn't know anything he says
He doesn't feel anything she says
I've been waiting for too long for love like this
To let it slip away
I've been waiting for your tender kiss
She says, "I just might leave tomorrow"
He says, "Tomorrow never comes"
So we'll just learn to love our sorrow
I'll love you tender as your sleeping
I'll love you bitter through the day
