(Carly Simon)
|
Better not tell her, that I was your lover
|
Better not make her jealous of me
|
Better convince her there was nothing between us
|
I'm not those initials in your diary
|
But if you slip and my name comes up
|
Don't deny that you knew me
|
Just leave out the white nights
|
The moon in your window
|
The break in your whisper
|
The promises after
|
|
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
|
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
|
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
|
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
|
But if you slip and my name comes up
|
Don't deny that you knew me
|
Just leave out the white nights
|
The moon in your window
|
The break in your whisper
|
The promises after
|
Leave out the tears and the laughter
|
She won't need to know
|
That I cried when you left
|
That I think of you still
|
|
But if you slip and my name comes up
|
Don't deny that you knew me
|
Just leave out the white nights
|
The moon in your window
|
The break in your whisper
|
The promises after
|
Leave out the tears and the laughter
|
She won't need to know
|
That I'd die for your love
|
That I still...love...you
