lyrics

If I should die by a fatal indecision
And never make my mind up to tell her how it is,
How I loved the way she stopped to savor flowers on the fences,
Make sure she knows.
If I should blow away on a puff of long-windedness
And never take a stand and tell her how it is,
How I loved the way she interrupted my soliloquy
And said, Action is the key,
Make sure she knows.
If I dissolve into the fog after I leave her door
And never solve the mystery of what I went there for,
And how the traffic lights were greener for the love I felt for her,
Make sure she knows.
Till then I fall on the sword of chivalry
And never throw the glove down to win the king’s lady.
Conscience is a fearsome dragon worse than any foe.
The fire’s to my feet; she has to know.
I think she knows. I’m sure she knows.
