Love Song
Paper Lace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Recently in your eyes I see
There's been a change in you
And the one said now all seems dead
And I just don't know what to do
Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died
Yet my tend at the tournament
And let me your champion be

And if I win would you take me in
Into your chambers secretly
Ask me who do I think of
When a moon is high and bright
Ask me who do I dream of
Well I dream of you tonight

Oh my darling you cannot hide
The love you once had for me has died

Recently in your eyes I see
I've been noticing a change in you through how you look at me lately

There's been a change in you
You're not the same person you used to be

And the one said now all seems dead
The love we once had is gone, and it feels like there's nothing left

And I just don't know what to do
I'm lost and confused about our relationship

Oh my darling you cannot hide
You can't keep your true feelings from me

The love you once had for me has died
You don't love me anymore

Yet my tend at the tournament
Still, I will fight for your love

And let me your champion be
I'll be your protector and champion

And if I win would you take me in
If I prove my love, will you accept me back?

Into your chambers secretly
We can hide our love from the world, if that's what you want

Ask me who do I think of
If you ask who's on my mind
