Think Sweetly Of Me

Think sweetly of me,
hold no arms, only mine;
see what love has done:
put these distant hearts together
when they refused to surrender:
who was the clever one?

Think sweetly of me,
see what they can't see;
another man would walk away,
take with him pride and vanity!
Think sweetly of me!

There are men who do care,
there those who don't;
and the vain ones boast 
about whom they own,
being kind they don't dare:
their affection isn't shown!

Think sweetly of me,
it's not hard loving me;
if dreams lead to fantasy,
I'll stop believing in reality!
We can breathe slowly,   
we can love tenderly!
