Analysis of I Will Tell You, Love
Yes, my Love, I am your splendid thing
On my finger I still wear that blessed ring
No more lovemaking, I am now celibate
Old and gray now, fragile and delicate
I'm your strength; courage, don't be afraid
If you need me, call me, I'll rush to your aid
You always knew I was the clown in the crowd
It was your love for me that made me so proud
No, my Love, you're not obligated in any way
You broke my heart once, what else can I say?
We were so much in love, you are my best friend
And I will always love you until the very end
