Abelard

  Do I hold you?

  Do I ask you to go?

  Do I touch you?

  If I dare what I mean

  Would I frighten you?

  Would I make a scene

  And cause you to turn away?



Héloïse

  Do I hold you?

  Do I ask you to stay?

  Do I kiss you?

  If I dare what I dream

  I would find a way to hold you

  And make you stay in my arms



Abelard

  I can't dream at night without seeing you

  I can't see you standing there and not touch you

  I can't touch you and not want you

  I can't forget you, no matter what I do



Héloïse

  I'm not worried

  That the dark of the night will deceive us

  For the light of your love

Abelard

  And the truth in your touch

Both

  Will protect us



Abelard

  I must hold you

  I must ask you to stay

  I must touch you

Both

  I don't care what they say

  What they think, what they do

  I must hold you

  I must hold you

  Hold you
