Be Still

Darling, don't just go quite yet.
 I think you look so pretty.
 There's not much I wouldn't do
 to keep you here beside me.
 I know you have your dreams
 and I don't want to take them from you.
 It makes you want to scream
 and I'm not helping when I hold you.
 But I need to say that I love you.
 And that I always will.
 I need to lay and behold you.
 So darling, won't you be still?
 Take this token of my praise
 and hide it deep within you.
 Save it for the rainy days
 and I'll be thinking of you.
 I know you have your dreams
 and I don't want to take them from you.
 It makes you want to scream
 and I'm not helping when I hold you.
 But I need to say that I love you.
 And that I always will.
 I need to lay and behold you.
 So darling, won't you be still?
