How much could I care
You ask me this now
Ask as you may but beware
To answer you I don't know quite how

The light in your eyes
The warmth of your embrace
My true feelings disguised
Cause my heart to race

The beauty of your laugh
Softness in your voice
I hate to see this beauty O so sad
Only to hold you would make me rejoice

Your hair in the wind
Blowing wild and free
The softness of your skin
I hope the next one is me

You might think I am crazy
Or maybe a fool
Life's paths are often dark and hazy
And not always cool

How much could one man care
just ask me but beware.
