I Surrender Dear

We've played the game of, 'Stay away'

But it costs more than I can pay

Without you I can't make my way

I surrender, dearI may seem proud and I may act gay

It's just a pose, I'm not that way

'Cause deep down in my heart I say

"I surrender, dear"Little mean things we were doing

Must have been part of the game

Lending a spice to the wooing

Oh, but I don't care who's to blameWhen stars appear and shadows fall

By then you'll hear my poor heart call

To you my love, my life, my all

I surrender, dear
