With Sweet Understanding
Please don't stand so close.
I'm at a loss for the right words, so don't talk so sweet.
Please help me forget all those late nights,
When your words gave me freedom.
No one ever treated me that way,
And no one ever will again.
I listen to you with "sweet understanding",
And you are my friend.
Don't think you've lost your love,
You're going to find her - I promise you you will.
You will, because it's me who's watching over you,
Through all your bad dreams, I'm keeping you safe.
Because through all your life, I will continue to love you.
