Let's Call a Heart a Heart

When we're in a friendly situation My conversation may not be smart But if we're to have a perfect understanding There are words that should be whispered gent@y That's evidently the way to start If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding Can I prove how I yearn Just by the turn of a phrase Can I keep my control When all my soul is aflame Maybe we'd call a true confession And in discretion on someone's part But if I'm to say how madly I adore you
