Taking My Life In Your Hands
Elvis Costello, The Brodsky Quartet
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late And it`s really just a silly fragment of paper But it means so much to those who wait All the suffering days and nights `til I dare dream again There you suddenly stand and I`ll be damned if you Didn't disappear with the dawn [Chorus:] Hours pass and darkness comes Soon I will close my eyes Will you return if you don`t reply You`ll be taking my life in your hands You`ll be taking my life in your hands Taking my life in your hands I don`t know why my dearest darling I can`t tell you how I feel when you are near When I see you have returned my letters unopened I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears But you`re kidding yourself if you think this Correspondence will end I can always pretend words I don`t have the courage to Send Reach you [Chorus]
