I don't ask you to ever be kind to me
Only that you might love me a little
I don't ask that you smile at me
When I'm pretty
Only that you might love me a little
Because you don't see me
and yet I'm there
I don't ask you to caress my hand
when I say I'm OK
only that you might love me a little
I don't ask,
that when you hear my songs,
you say and mean it:
"Sure, I love you a little"
Because you don't see me
And yet I am there
But often I ask
that your eyes light up
When I speak verses
so you might love me a little
But often I ask
the unhappy heart,
the tears in the eyes
when will you love me a little
Because you don't see me
and yet I'm still there
Because you don't see me
and yet I'm still there
