I Confess

The lavender and moonlight
The sweet perfume of nightfall
A carousel of lovers
Whose indiscretions are benign
A catalog of heartache
Whose pages will not let themselves be turned
(Chorus)
Your omnipresence in my dreams
Takes more a toll than it redeems
And I admit I canʼt forget you
So if youʼll be my valentine
I swear to be your Valentino
I confess that I still love you
The winding road bears solace
The tortured soul has been released
The mockingbird is songless
But what he sings canʼt be denied
And metaphors of romance
Mean not a thing if theyʼre misunderstood
