I woke today, and felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you'd been layin' You were gone, my heart was filled with dread You might not be sleeping here again It's all right, 'cause I love you And that's not gonna change Run me round, make me hurt again and again But I'll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name And brave the storm to come For it surely looks like rain Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love And guess from their cries you were listening to a fight Well you know, hate's just the last thing they're thinking of They're only trying to make it through the night I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn It's just that I have gotten used to having you around My landscape would be empty if you were gone It's all right, 'cause I love you And that's not gonna change Run me round, make me hurt again and again But I'll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name And brave the storm to come For it surely looks like rain
