Title: TELL ME NOW

Artist: Valerie & Walter Crockett

The dew reflects the morning sun,
the dawn is clear and bright
The mirror on the wall reflects
a long and sleepless night
with a happy face turned haggard now,
mascara smudged and smeared
The weary bloodshot eyes I see are
faucets running tears

CHORUS:
You've said it before
and you'll say it again
But it's not only what,
it's a matter of when
Tell me now, tell me now

Yesterday I lost someone
dear and close to me
I'm terrified by sadness marching in
so suddenly
So gently press your lips to mine,
smoothe my tangled hair
Sorrow's holding hands with fear,
convince me you're still there

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
The umbrella that I left at work yesterday,
by the door
Won't keep the rain from drenching my skin
in today's downpour

Place your knowing hands upon my waist,
kiss me with your eyes
Firmly pull me close to you,
my crazy heart denies
Anything but feelings now,
reason comes with time
Wrap me in your loving arms
until I know you're mine

REPEAT CHORUS

Tell me now. Tell me now.
