You come with tender eyes My welcome reprieve My pleasant reprieve It would be simple To be seized away By the heat of your smile By the words that you say What to do my love With the passion you bring With your sincere emotion Such a fragile thing Should I risk what is precious, my friend For a fleeting indulgence For a fated end Skilled in the game of chance I'm tempted When you ask me to dance But the urgency that is now your voice Leaves me shaken and sober Leaves me only one choice On this bitter sweet night I must tell you goodbye
