Taking My Life In Your Hands Lyrics

Costello Elvis
The Juliet Letter
Taking My Life In Your Hands
Words: Mac Manus/J. Thomas/M.P. Thomas/Cassidy
Music: J. Thomas/Mac Manus (3:20)

My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to
you too late
And it's really just a silly fragment of paper
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights 'til I dare dream again
There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned if you
didn't disappear with the dawn

Chorus:
Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
[ Costello Elvis Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Will you return if you don't reply
You'll be taking my life in your hands
You'll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands

I don't know why my dearest darling
I can't tell you how I feel when you are near
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
But you're kidding yourself if you think this
correspondence will end
I can always pretend words I don't have the courage to
send
Reach you

Repeat chorus

Costello Elvis
The Juliet Letter
Taking My Life In Your Hands
