GIVE ME A SIGN

GIVE ME A SIGN


Give me a sign, the faintest one
That I may draw nigh you.
Give me a sign that emboldens;
Give me that fleeting cue.

I love you but my heart can’t
Take your love for granted.
Give me just a little sign
That I too am wanted.

How I yearn to kiss you and
Hold you tight in my arms!
I have seen you from afar
I wish to touch your charms.

Give me a sign that you won’t mind
If I sing you a song
As in the lovely woods we,
Hand in hand, walk along.

Give me a sign, I will give my
Heart that does for you burn,
Ever ready to serve you
At each and every turn.
