The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke
If I could see your tender smile
 And hold you close just a little while
 I want this love to last forever
 And if one day your trembling hands
 Will touch my lips I'll understand
 And want this love to last forever


 Why, why won't you tell me
 Tell me the way you feel
 Why won't you hold me
 And tell me that this love is real
 If I look in your eyes and see
 That you shared a tear for me
 I want this love to last forever


 But then, maybe I'll get tired
 Of trying to make you love me to
 And then you want this love to last forever


 Why, why won't you tell me
 Tell me the way you feel
 Why won't you hold me
 And tell me that this love is real
 If I look in your eyes and see
 That you shared a tear for me
 I want this love to last forever


 But then, maybe I'll get tired
 Of trying to make you love me to
 And then you want this love to last forever
