If I turned my back on you
Would you reach out to hold me,
And warmly enfold me close to your heart?

Would anyone care,
Or anyone dare to
Try to tear us apart?

Just two people it seems
Who stand in their dreams
A few moments along life's dreary way,

Nothing more than to share
A few moments to care,
And once more be on separate ways.

Oh, a love that's so deep
Is something to keep
And treasure through all of your days.

It doesn't take much,
An occasional touch
No matter what anyone says.

For a love that so burns
And frequently yearns
Is a very small price to pay.

It seldom comes twice,
This pearl of great price.
So keep it however you may.
