How Many Times

You give me, give me time to spare,
Give me room to care, give me love so rare.
So bright, so fair, you fill me,
Fill me full of lust, rich as ivory tusk
From dawn to dusk,
But leave I must, you fill me.

How many times did I resist your calls to come?
And how many nights did we believe that we were one?
How many times have I refused to carry on?
And how many nights have I convinced myself I’m wrong?

Oh I can’t hear you, I can’t see you,
But I know it won’t be long.
My heart still beats for you,
My body needs you and I know it won’t be long.

You gave me, gave me a Wild West dream,
A foolish scheme like the silver screen,
The courtroom scene, you made me,
Made me wear my pride, made me run and hide,
Hide my freedom denied, but side by side you made me.

How many times did I refuse to tie you down?
And how many days did I insist on coming around?
How many times have I direct a curse above?
And how many nights have I insist on making love?

No I can’t hear you, I can’t see you,
But I know it won’t be long.
My heart still beats for you,
My body needs you and I know it won’t be long.

The love that hungers for you is way too strong,
The longer I’m away is the more I cry in fear of losing you.
But soon I’ll ride back into town, the hero on his stallion,
Whisk my girl away, pledge that I will stay forever.

How many times did we go walking hand-in-hand?
And how many days did we explore the unknown land?
How many times did we avoid the Sheriff’s gun?
And how many times did we romance under the sun?

I can’t hear you, I can’t see you,
But I know it won’t be long.
My heart still beats for you,
My body needs you and I know it won’t be long.

No I can’t hear you, I can’t see you,
But I know it won’t be long.
My heart still beats for you,
My body needs you and I know it won’t be long.

I’ll see you again and I know it won’t be long.
