Teach Me to Trust

(Dolly Parton - Gene Golden)



Maybe because it's too good to be true

Maybe because I want it so much

Maybe I fear you don't really mean it

For I feel I'm never enough.



But I want you more than I ever wanted

Anything I can recall

But something inside keeps saying you'll hurt me

Do I dare to trust it at all.



Teach me to trust, darling, you must

Or else I'll go out of my mind

When I'm not near you I always fear you

Have somebody else on the line.



Is it a fear or is it a knowing

A jealousy born out of truth

'Cause I watch you flirt

And it's how you embrace them with your eyes

That say I could lose.



Teach me to trust, ake me feel loved

Tell me I've no need to fear

Just make me feel safe whatever it takes

Tell me what I need to hear.



'Cause I need to feel important and special

Your cherished and only true love

And sometimes I think I'll die from this feeling

If you don't teach me to trust.



Can't you reach me and teach me to trust...
