Come, I'Ll Teach You Sweet Love
Come, I'll teach you sweet love;
forget how hard words are,
tremble like a dove...
touch my warm hand and believe in me for certain:
my trust is never ending.
Come, I'll teach you sweet love;
don't hang on useless fear,
look back, see how we really loved.
When joy made us smile,
and we passionately touched
without saying a word...
as the bright moon stopped awhile,
when all stars brightened the sky.
But tonight darkness stays,
and we despair; and we
lose our faith in destiny.
Our rainbow of yesterday
won't reappear today
with the Heaven above;
come, I'll teach you sweet love.
Entered in John Heck's contest,"Sondheim on Sondheim".
The song is entitled, "No More" from the musical " Into The Woods".
