I’m counting on the days when I’ll have you,
You’ll lie within my arms, trembling with love.
And I’m not counting all the times
You broke my heart, or times I hurt you.
I’m counting days till I’m with you,
We’ll count a million twilights close together,
And it won’t count if I don’t care,
If I don’t care, or if you love me.
Perhaps you think I’m just a fool,
Or crazy, or bet it all and lost it,
‘Cause counting’s what I do,
I’m counting that one day, your heart forgives me.
With this deluded, foolish heart,
In which you live for free forever,
Because you are my only love,
Or better still, my love that’s priceless.
