Abelard Do I hold you? Do I ask you to go? Do I touch you? If I dare what I mean Would I frighten you? Would I make a scene And cause you to turn away? Héloïse Do I hold you? Do I ask you to stay? Do I kiss you? If I dare what I dream I would find a way to hold you And make you stay in my arms Abelard I can't dream at night without seeing you I can't see you standing there and not touch you
I can't touch you and not want you I can't forget you, no matter what I do Héloïse I'm not worried That the dark of the night will deceive us For the light of your love Abelard And the truth in your touch Both Will protect us Abelard I must hold you I must ask you to stay I must touch you Both I don't care what they say What they think, what they do I must hold you I must hold you Hold you
