Be Here to Love Me

Norah Jones

Your eyes seek conclusion 
In all this confusion of mine 
Though you and I both know 
It's only the warm glow of wine 
That's got you to feeling this way, 
But I don't care, 
I want you to stay 
And hold me and tell me 
You'll be here to love me today 

Children are dancin', 
The gamblers are chancin' their all 
The window's accusing 
The door of abusing the wall 
But who cares 
What the night watchmen say 
The stage has been set for the play 
Hold me and tell me 
You'll be here to love me today 

The moon's come and gone 
But a few stars hang on on to the sky 
The wind's runnin' free 
But it ain't up to me ask why 
The poets are demanding their pay 
They've left me with nothin' to say 
'cept hold me and tell me 
You'll be here to love me today 
Just hold me and tell me that 
You'll be here to love me today
