Take My Hand For A While
Francoise Hardy · If You Listen [1972]
(Buffy Sainte-Marie)
Take my hand for a while, explain it to me once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart, look into my eyes
And maybe I will understand how love I'd counted on
Was never there, you see, I thought that you might love me.
So you caught me, it seems off-balance with a heart that's full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share.
And so I know, but please before you go
Take my hand for a while, explain it to me once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart.
Take my hand for a while, explain it to me once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart, look into my eyes
And maybe I will understand how love I'd counted on
Was never there, you see, I thought that you might love me.
So you caught me, it seems off-balance with a heart that's full
Of love and pretty dreams that two should share.
And so I know, but please before you go
Take my hand for a while, explain it to me once again
Just for the sake of my broken heart.
