And You My Love Lyrics
Chris Rea
Lyrics
I do not sleep tonight
I may not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together
Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason what they've all come here for
You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms
Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay
And you my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
oh You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
yeah
