I SEE YOU IN YOUR YELLOW EVENING WINDOW 
 AND I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES 
 PRAYING TO HEAVENS THAT YOU MAY FALL ASLEEP 
 SOFTLY AND IN PEACE 

 FOR ONE FLESH WE ARE AND SHALL BE STILL 
 AND NO MAN HATES HIS OWN KIND WHILE HE’S ALIVE 
 FOR ONE FLESH WE ARE AND SHALL BE STILL 
 AND I SHALL NEVER TIRE OF HONOURING YOU 

 AND HEAVEN KNOWS MANY’S THE TEAR I’VE SHED 
 AND I KNOW I WON’T EVER FORGET 
 FOR ONE FLESH WE ARE AND SHALL BE STILL 
 AND I SHALL NEVER TIRE OF HONOURING YOU 

 AND HEAVEN KNOWS I PROMISE I’LL TRY 
 TO LIVE AND TO DIE WITH THE DIGNITY YOU’VE TAUGHT ME 
 FOR ONE FLESH WE ARE AND SHALL BE STILL 
 AND I SHALL NEVER TIRE OF LOVING YOU 

 OH, LORD, I SAY PLEASE, LET HIM FALL ASLEEP 
 AND DO IT SOFTLY BUT DO IT QUICKLY TOO 
 FOR I CANNOT WAIT AND NEITHER SHALL YOU 

 AND DO IT QUICKLY BUT DO IT SOFTLY TOO 
 DON’T WAKE HIM FROM HIS DREAMS, NOT BY ANY MEANS
 OH, LORD, I SAY PLEASE, LET HIM FALL ASLEEP
