Grey Delisle Tell Me True
Tell Me True
When you tell me
Tell me true my little darlin'
For sweet honesty is all I ask of you
If you plan to go away
Please don't promise that you'll stay
All I ask is that you always tell me true
In November when the cherry branch is bendin'
And the breeze has blown the blossoms far away
Are the vows we made in June
Ever changin' as the moon?
Or will tomorrow be as sweet as yesterday?
“I can hardly realize that hundreds
and hundreds of miles separate us.
I seem to see you
and listen to your darling words.
Your presence seems ever near me,
strengthening me to bear this ordeal
through which I am passing;
our separation.”
When you tell me
Tell me true my little darlin'
For sweet honesty is all I ask of you
If you plan to go away
Please don't promise that you'll stay
All I ask is that you always tell me true
All I ask is that you always tell me true
