If I held you close
Held you tight
Snuggled you
All through the night...
Would you be offended???
If I kissed you gently
On your cheek
Into your ear
Tender word's speak..
Would this upset you???
I can be gentle
I can be strong
Make you feel
Like you belong
Would this comfort you???
Time changes one
Who did a wrong
Makes their heart
Sing a new song
Would your heart sing, too???
Thank you for humouring
An old man like me
With your tenderness
An' sweet dignity
Did my words offend you???
