Be Still

Darling, don't just go quite yet.
I think you look so pretty.
There's not much I wouldn't do
to keep you here beside me.

I know you have your dreams
and I don't want to take them from you.
It makes you want to scream
and I'm not helping when I hold you.
But I need to say that I love you.
And that I always will.
I need to lay and behold you.
So darling, won't you be still?

Take this token of my praise
and hide it deep within you.
Save it for the rainy days
and I'll be thinking of you.

I know you have your dreams
and I don't want to take them from you.
It makes you want to scream
and I'm not helping when I hold you.
But I need to say that I love you.
And that I always will.
I need to lay and behold you.
So darling, won't you be still?
