I Surrender Dear

Pride, sad, splendid liar,
 Sworn enemy of love
 Kept my lips from saying
 Things I was thinking of.
 But now my pride you've humbled,
 I've cast it to the winds,
 Broken, beaten, sick at heart
 My confession begins.
 We've played the game of stay away
 But it cost more that I can pay.
 Without you I can't make my way,
 I surrender, dear.
 I may seem proud, I may act gay,
 It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
 'Cause deep down in my heart I say
 I surrender, dear.
 Little mean things we were doing
 Must have been part of the game,
 Lending a spice to the wooing,
 But I don't care who's to blame.
 When stars appear and shadows fall,
 Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
 To you my love, my life, my all
 I surrender, dear.
