Talk to me as lovers do, Regardless what you have to say, And I will gladly talk to you. Be kind, but most of all be true: Throw your masks and shields away. Talk to me as lovers do, Anger, pain, and boredom, too, Let all that's in you come my way, And I will gladly talk to you. We've had rough times, but we get through: We choose through hurricanes to stay. So talk to me as lovers do. Beneath the storm I will renew My vow to love you more each day, And I will gladly talk to you. All darkness turns to light when you And I can weep and touch and play. Come talk to me as lovers do And I will gladly talk to you.
