There's a tenderness that I feel, 
    Fadd9/G        G 
 Very real, you see

I can feel your body stir, so deep within

You can lie so close to someone 
          Fadd9/G       G 
And still feel all alone

Though I've heard you say

You love me so many times

When you give me love

Someone else is in your mind

 Many is the time when I wake up and find

 I've been crying in my sleep
