Can You Love Me

Can you love me for who I am
Can you love me for where I stand
Can you love me in spite of my faults
Can you love me without throwing sharp darts

Can you love me in sickness and in health
Can you love me without great wealth
Can you love me when times get tough
Can you love me when the road gets rough

Can you love me when I'm being mean
Can you love me when the grass is no longer green
Can you love me without looking at my past
Can you love me and make our love last

If you can love me in all of these ways
your love is known to be unconditional
and that is real love.
