So Many Others

Comfort me with apples
Torture me with tears
Make up for the wasted nights
And all the lonesome years
Let me take your fingers
Here within my hand
There've been so many others
Who didn't understand

Bring me pretty marbles
The best that you can find
Sing to me of rivers
It helps to ease my mind
Talk me pretty love words
I will do the same
Yes, there have been others
But I'm awfully glad you came

They'd look at me and wonder
What is he thinking of
When all I ever wanted
Was lullabies and love

Tell me that I'm handsome
And lots of other lies
Come along and love me
With little summer sighs
Waking in the morning
I'll talk of others who
I'll lie to you and tell you
Could not compare to you

Don't look at me and wonder
What is he thinking of
All I've ever wanted
Was lullabies and love

Tell me that I'm handsome
And lots of other lies
Come along and love me
With little summer sighs
Even if you leave me
Pretend your love is true
There've been so many others
There might as well be you
