If I Could Be so Bold

I tried writing you a love song
Make it big and make it bright
Tried to tell you I would be there
I could hold you through the night

But darling as I sang it
The whole thing left me cold
So I'll just ask to hold your hand
If I could be so bold

I've never been the rich man
Other guys could give you more
Never been the smartest, either
Got me beat there, babe, I'm sure

But darling, I bet big on you
I'll be damned 'f I'm gonna fold
So I'll just ask to see you
If I could be so bold

I wish that I were handsome
An Adonis of my day
Wish I could say you need me
But you're fine, babe, either way

So darling I can't do that,
All my gifts are oversold
So I'll just ask to kiss you
If I could be so bold.

I don't know what I can give you
That you ain't already got.
Guess I'll throw myself on your sweet mercy
And beg you, please, for just one shot

So darling here I'm standing
'Nd I won't leave unless I'm told
And I'll just ask to love you
If I could be so bold

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I like your style, quite reminiscent of former styles. Very simple but very touching. I like!

Nice one. I liked the last two stanzas.
