Oh so separate from the world
Like the shimmering ocean pearl
Drawn in from the tide
From vulgarity you tried to hide
But, alas, it was to no avail
Besides, you shalln’t be frail
So let us walk along together
Under the gloomy, rainy weather
Even though my world is a mess
And I desperately need you, I must confess
Let’s try to keep ourselves calm
And hold our heads up in aplomb
Because even when I am in a panic
And my need for assurance is manic
I know your sweet words will soothe
Like a soft, smooth jazz groove
And that your loving, warm caress
Will once again regenerate my tenderness
And you know that even through you fear
I will always be here, very near
I couldn’t possibly be kept away
Regardless of what they say
Why, even if our families disavowed it
You know I couldn’t trudge on without it
So tonight I will sleep soundly
And tomorrow I can proclaim loudly
“With God and my love, I have no fear”
While a huge grin lights my face, ear to ear
That assurance you give is the most precious mirth
That I will have here on planet Earth
Like the shimmering ocean pearl
Drawn in from the tide
From vulgarity you tried to hide
But, alas, it was to no avail
Besides, you shalln’t be frail
So let us walk along together
Under the gloomy, rainy weather
Even though my world is a mess
And I desperately need you, I must confess
Let’s try to keep ourselves calm
And hold our heads up in aplomb
Because even when I am in a panic
And my need for assurance is manic
I know your sweet words will soothe
Like a soft, smooth jazz groove
And that your loving, warm caress
Will once again regenerate my tenderness
And you know that even through you fear
I will always be here, very near
I couldn’t possibly be kept away
Regardless of what they say
Why, even if our families disavowed it
You know I couldn’t trudge on without it
So tonight I will sleep soundly
And tomorrow I can proclaim loudly
“With God and my love, I have no fear”
While a huge grin lights my face, ear to ear
That assurance you give is the most precious mirth
That I will have here on planet Earth
