She's fragile and slender

And fading fast

So in a voice so tender she asks

If I could lend her a helping hand

A hand that would end her strive

Love is only for poets

And dreams are for fools

And on all beauty you'll find 

Time's always cruel



If you see what I see

Then say after me

I'll fight my fright 

I'll do as you ask tonight



Ever since my heart chose to choose her

I've known I would lose her

But I will excuse her

I could never refuse her anything

'Cause I'm not a poet, no

I'm just a fool

But the beauty she speaks of

Keeps her as the exception to the rule



But I see what I see

So I know what it'll be

I'll fight my fright 

And I'll do as she's asked me to do tonight



And all will be forgiven

It's from love that I've been driven

And time will skip a moment 

When it's perfect

And I'll kiss her lips 

As she slips away



You said you'd die for me

You said you'd die for me

So why can't you live for me

Why won't you live for me
