My dear impulsive darling, I suspect my letter got to you too late<br>
And it's really just a silly fragment of paper
And it's really just a silly fragment of paper<br>
 
But it means so much to those who wait<br>
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights till I dare dream again<br>
 
There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned <br>
All the suffering days and nights till I dare dream again
If you didn't disappear with the dawn<br>
 
<br>
There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned  
Hours pass and darkness comes<br>
 
Soon I will close my eyes<br>
If you didn't disappear with the dawn
Will you return?<br>
 
If you don't reply, you'll be taking my life in your hands<br>
 
You'll be taking my life in your hands<br>
 
Taking my life in your hands<br>
Hours pass and darkness comes
<br>
 
I don't know why, my dearest darling<br>
Soon I will close my eyes
I can't tell you how I feel when you are near<br>
 
When I see you have returned my letters unopened<br>
Will you return?
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears<br>
 
But you're kidding yourself if you think this correspondence will end<br>
If you don't reply, you'll be taking my life in your hands
I can always pretend words I don't have the courage to send reach you<br>
 
<br>
You'll be taking my life in your hands
Hours pass and darkness comes<br>
 
Soon I will close my eyes<br>
Taking my life in your hands
Will you return?<br>
 
If you don't reply, you'll be taking my life in your hands<br>
 
You'll be taking my life in your hands<br>
 
Taking my life in your hands<br>
I don't know why, my dearest darling
 
I can't tell you how I feel when you are near

lyrics for
Taking My Life In Your Hands

My dear impulsive darling, I suspect my letter got to you too late
And it's really just a silly fragment of paper
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights till I dare dream again
There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned
If you didn't disappear with the dawn

Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
Will you return?
If you don't reply, you'll be taking my life in your hands
You'll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands

I don't know why, my dearest darling
I can't tell you how I feel when you are near
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
But you're kidding yourself if you think this correspondence will end
I can always pretend words I don't have the courage to send reach you

Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
Will you return?
If you don't reply, you'll be taking my life in your hands
You'll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands
