JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS, by DE FRANCE
First Line: Perhaps you are right, dear
Last Line: If you but understood.
Subject(s): Friendship; Good
First Line: Perhaps you are right, dear
Last Line: If you but understood.
Subject(s): Friendship; Good
Perhaps you are right, dear,
When you say I am good.
But how surprised you'd be
If you but understood.
Too ill to fight or care,
So terribly quiet you lay
When stalked by cruel death
That awful, awful day.
If you'd only be spared,
I made a vow to One,
How gentle I would be;
How good I would become.
And now you wonder, dear,
Why I am now so good
But how surprised you'd be
If you but understood.
