Don't turn away

If we have a troubled time, do you stop admiring me?
When we see that we aren't perfect, do you stop desiring me?
I could keep your eyes from crying
Please don't turn your back on me;
You could keep my heart from dying.
Let me hold you, tenderly.

Don't turn away from me,
don't increase the distance between us when things aren't right.
I love you truly so help me, oh
Please let me bury my face in your hair
and my hopes in your care,
My love in your body, my life in your heart
beating sadly on nights such as this-
Dissolved in one kiss.

I could keep your eyes from crying
Please don't turn your back on me;
You could keep my heart from dying.
Let me hold you, tenderly.

Don't turn away from me,
don't increase the distance between us when things aren't right.
I love you truly so help me, oh
Please let me bury my face in your hair
and my hopes in your care,
My love in your body, my life in your heart
beating sadly on nights such as this-
Dissolved in one warm, wet, willing kiss.
