Please Accept My Love
B.B. King · Live & Well [2012]
But I love you just the same
If you let me hold your hand
Then I think maybe I can make you understand
If you only, only knew
Just how much I love you
Loving you the way I do
Then you'd take the night to love me too
I'm like the picture on the wall
So please don't let me fall
It's my heart I'm thinkin of
So please, please accept my love
If you let me be your slave
Your love I'll cherish to my grave
And if you should die before I do
I'll, I said I'll, I'll end my life to be with you
Yes I will!
