compromise

you won't need to whisper a loving lie
or tell me that you love me by the candle's light
while we caress and kiss, passion burning high
it will fade with the dawn and the morning's light
willingly my heart I again compromise

you don't have to offer a promise of more
when the dance begins and we explore
questions unanswered have been paid for
it will be no different than the times before
a love song sang from the one I adore

you won't need to whisper a loving lie
or tell me that you love me by the candle's light
while we caress and kiss, passion burning high
it will fade with the dawn and the morning's light
but it's what I need to finally say goodbye
