I don't know enough to love you.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



I don't know enough to love you
But will you hold my hand
I don't know enough to love you
But my heart you command
I don't know enough to love you
But you're my heaven's flame
I don't know enough to love you
But when you look my way
I don't know enough to love you
But I'll love you how I know hey?
I don't know enough to love you
But my love you have your say.
I don't know enough to love you
But my words cry in pain
I don't know enough to love you
But you're my every gain
I don't know enough to love you
But I'm like a steaming train.
I don't know enough to love you
But you're always in my brain
I don't enough to love you
But you are not to blame
I don't know enough to love you
But I'll slow down all the same
I don't know enough to love you
But will you take my name
I don't know enough to love you
But my love I won't share
I don't know enough to love you
But I'll always be there
I don't know enough to love you
But I lay my hands bare
I don't know enough to love you
But we take this pair
I don't know enough to love you
But please do understand
I don't know enough to love you
But will you take my hand?
I don't know enough to love you
But our love could be grand
I don't know enough to love you
But I would wear your band
I don't know enough to love you
But all my love is yours
I don't know enough to love you
But I'll do all my chores
I don't know enough to love you
But I'll never get bored
I don't know enough to love you
But one day I'll leave home
I don't know enough to love you
But you will surely come
I don't know enough to love you
But one day we'll be whole
I don't know enough to love you
But freedom is my goal
