Just Lie

VERSE 1: I’ll never forget our first date Rushing Home even though we were late I asked what to say if they asked why And without hesitation, you said just lie VERSE 2: When the big decision came about And suddenly my mind was filled with doubt When I became so timid and shy You consoled me by saying, honey just lie CHORUS: Just lie; Lie here in my arms Trust in me, and I’ll keep you from harm Believe in me when times get hard When you’re with me you can let down your guard I can give you things money can’t buy So without hesitation darling, just lie VERSE 3: A few months later I found out the news It was all my decision but I couldn’t choose So when I told you it was too late We had nothing but nine months to wait VERSE 4: After the birth, I knew something wasn’t right It was hard, but I had to give up the fight With my last few breaths, I began to cry As you grasped my hand, I’ll never forget your reply CHORUS: Just lie; Lie here in my arms Trust in me, and I’ll keep you from harm Believe in me when times get hard When you’re with me you can let down your guard I can give you things money can’t buy So without hesitation darling, just lie I’m lying now sweetheart, yet that’s not where I’ll stay I’m with you in your heart and every prayer you pray This is not yet our last good-bye And when the pain becomes too much honey, just lie
