Lirieke: Elvis Costello. North. Can You Be True?.

Can you be true?
Can this possibly be real?
I knew quite suddenly
Do you sense how I feel?
I long to hear you whisper my name
'Til you tell me, "My darlin', you may be my man"

There will be days when you must go from my sight
There may be nights when clouds deny us starlight
Only time will tell us
I hope that it speaks gently if it isn't meant to be
Then again, by then we might not be listening so attentively

I will be there if the days bring torments and trials
To close the distances only measured in miles
I long to hold you all through the night
And to tell you, "My darlin', you make everything seem right"
And then I'll hear you calling my name
And I'll answer, "My darling, I may be your man"
