The Quintessential Love Song

It's nearing six o' clock and I sit here
Knowing that you said you'd call me
I don't know a time when I would doubt you
Oh, but however can I be sure?

It's late, but I heard the phone ring
My heart jumps, I get up, hoping for your voice
Oh, is it you? How could it not?
I pick up the phone, and I hear your voice

When I hear your voice, I can tell something's wrong
I wonder what's up, so I ask
But you tell me it's nothing. . .it's fine, hun.
And for the first time, I'm worried

You tell me again that it's fine, but I still don't know.
I know that you always tell me the deal, so I ask

Will you always tell me that you love me all the time?
And will you forever be with me for the rest of time?
And if something's wrong, will you always tell me?
'Cause we ain't been long, but your love is all I got.

Pause, then you say it's hard to say
I know, babe, but for me you gotta try.
A while, then you say it's a girl.
My heart goes, 'cause I know what you mean.

Quickly, you say that it isn't like that
That the girl isn't doing that
But it's really hard to say, hard to say
To only think it, I just cry.

I say again, babe, you must try.
You tell me that it happened so long ago.
I had a girl a bit like you
She and I shared a love, but we split hard.

Then I ask is that what it's all about
But you tell me what you found out
There was an accident, and she ain't here
I love you, but she makes my heart hurt

But will you always tell me that you love me all the time?
And will you forever be with me for the rest of time?
And if something's wrong, will you always tell me?
'Cause we ain't been long, but your love is all I got.

What you told me, it made me cry.
Baby, I'm so sorry, what can I do?
Nothing, you say, I think I'm fine
I just don't know what to do, I miss her so.

We sat in silence, for five, maybe ten
Finally, you say so love me
I'm sorry that I scared you, I just heard
I tell you, babe, I understand.

I know that your loss leaves a hurt upon your heart, but
I hope that you'll always know that I'm always here for you.

Baby, will you always tell me that you love me all the time?
And will you forever be with me for the rest of time, time?
And if there's ever something wrong, will you tell me?
Cause I know we ain't been long, but your love is all I got.
