We made up our minds neath the warm yellow lights in the square
I wondered which avenue would take us far away from here
With images of love on my mind I must admit I was blind
But you wove yourself into my arms so tight I wondered which was yours or mine
I've never know for something to have grown
From a feeling so small you might not notice it at all
Till its pounding in your chest
Leaving no room for the rest
I forgot to say I need you
I forgot to say I care
This armor of logic we tackled and brought it to the ground
Now we stand before each other stripped naked and in awe of what we found
These scars and bruises need no excuses
Those that you wear are the same as those I bear
If you hold me in your arms
I'll try not to do you harm
I forgot to say I need you
I forgot to say I care
Softly I kiss you
Then I promise to leave you
Tomorrow, but tonight
Lay my head on your chest
Let me forget
I drift into a dream as I lay on your breast
A fantasy of forgotten loneliness
And try as I may to keep the morning at bay
You hold on to me just like this
I forgot to say I need you
I forgot to say I care
Softly I kiss you
Then tomorrow I'll leave you
Alone, but tonight
Lay my head on your chest
Let me forget
