Lyrics

I'm Not Yet (Giving Up On You)

I'm not yet giving up on you
though in the end I know I may have to
my love's too wide and deep
the joy we shared too real too brief
so just one glimmer more of hope I'll keep
though hope is cheap

I love you
is a simple truth
and I could give so much to you
but also true
I've not much youth
though I can touch you through and through

I'm aware I risk being a fool
in my hands just rust where shone a jewel
but though I would always guard your name
as for myself I don't mind some shame
if there's one chance you might decide to change
is that so strange

I love you...

I'm not yet giving up on you
though burning yearnings leave me bruised and blue
how can I not hope and ache
when you say you may have made a big mistake
but if the dream proves dust I must forsake
I'll accept my fate

and then I'd weep
and creep away
though hope might sneak in some other day!
