Lyrics These few lines I'll devote To a marvelous girl covered up in my coat Pull it up to your chin I'll hold you until the day will begin Still Lying in the shadows this new flame will cast Upon everything we carry from the past You were made of every love and each regret Up until the day we met There are no words that I'm afraid to hear Unless they are "Goodbye, my dear" Still I was moving very fast But in one place Now you speak my name and set my pulse to race Sometimes words may tumble out but can't eclipse The feeling when you press your fingers to my lips I want to kiss you in a rush And whisper things to make you blush And you say, "Darling, hush Hush" Still, still
