IF MY LIPS WILL LET ME (D A D F# B E, capo 4)

If my lips will let me, I will put them to your cheek.

Since your wind has swept me, I’ve been blowing all over the street.

I am terrified; I’m not sure I’m what you need.
Please do not forget me.

If my feet will take me, I will appear at your door.

Watching the waves breaking, but we won’t get wet anymore.
We are out of our depth, but we are hardly finished yet.
And no one else can save me.

If my hands will hold you, I will press them to your chest.
When the morning folds you, I’ll untangle all the mess.
We could stay all day. There’s nothing I would rather do.
And when I say it, I mean it.

If my brain will slow down and hear what others have to say.
My heart will make it known now, because I’m just getting in the way.
I cannot pretend, but I cannot deny the proof.

And I am sure I love you.
