You're my lover, you're the one I depend on
With one another, we don't have to pretend

You could turn me down over twice
You could treat me mean or treat me nice

But soon the time will come, I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

You're my lover and forever my friend
And when I touch you, I never want it to end

And when the starry night is left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

But soon the time will come, I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

When I need you, you will always be there
And you're my lover, we can go anywhere

And when the starry night is left to dawn
The thought of you just keeps me dreaming on

But soon the time will come, I know what I put you through
The time will run away from us like time it will do

I know what I put you through
