You Don'T Know Me

You Don’t Know Me

you have no idea who I am 
or what I’m all about 
or what my life has been
or all the heartaches I’ve been through 

please don’t ask
so I don’t have to lie to you
you don’t know me
I’ve always kept my life to myself 
never intended to share 
I never believed anyone would ever care

do you really care for what I might share
or is it only questions you ask of me 
would you fill my life with pain and  sorrow
or would you love me past tomorrow

tonight is all we have will you stay to share 
the morning light  as it brightens up the day

I would give to you all that I have
and be faithful to all your needs 
if only I believed you might love me

when I feel I can trust you
I will open up my heart 
and be your knight in shining armor
protecting you from all harm
 take hold of my arm
together we will walk through the valley of dating darkness
and we will face the sunshine together on the other side
