Verse

Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head

reminding me the things last night I should have left unsaid

so please forgive the words I used my mind it tends to run

away with small ideas I know I'm not the only one

Chorus

so dear, oh dear

my head it tends to stray away sometimes I can't see clear

oh dear, oh dear

in spite of all the things I say I always want you near

Verse

Sometimes it rains sometime it pours, sometimes I'm not that sure

but anytime you look at me your thoughts I can't ignore

the second hand would pass us by should one of us had blinked

but in a minute realize that true love always waits

Chorus

my dear, oh dear

my head it tends to stray away sometimes I can't see clear

oh dear, oh dear

in spite of all the things I say I always want you near
