I Can Still Want To

I know that I can’t l hold your hand so tight
Just the way I used to do
And I can’t kiss away your tears at night
But I can still want to

No, I can’t watch you as you sleep, my love
When the day is through
And I can’t take you to the stars above
But I can still want to

When the lights are low
     I can almost know
The touch of your lips on mine

I think you should know
     Honey, even though
My thoughts are way out of line

Now I can’t call you everyday at ten
And then at twelve and one and two
Just to tell you of my love, again
But I can still want to

I know that I can’t say, you’re mine, my love
But I can still want to
