How can I persuade you I'm
sincere, That my affection equals my desire? I can tell you what you want to hear, But there's no way to prove I'm not a liar. Time may tell, but how much time must pass Before you are convinced by what I do? My eyes are eyes, not windows made of glass Through which you can see clearly what is true. Love cannot be, but at the risk of pain. Nothing can be guaranteed to last. Mere longing leads to neither loss nor gain. One must bet before the dice are cast. I know I love you, but you cannot know My heart unless you trust that it is so. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. Video Music: Concerto Grosso in G Minor 1.
