[Chorus]

He loves

With sweetness and sincerity

While she can only pretend

[Verse 1]

He caresses her hair

(Thinks to himself) Such a lovely face

Gives his entire self

(Shares his secrets)

But it's all in vain

His love for her drowns him

In a sea of denial

Her fear of being alone

Will it keep her there?

[Chorus]

He loves with sweetness and sincerity

While she may only pretend

He loves with sweetness and sincerity

While she may only pretend

[Verse 2]

The morning comes

(He reaches out) To feel her warmth

She pulls away

(He closes his eyes)

He's so ashamed

He's poor in all but truth

But what a fool is he

To wish for wine in her empty kiss

[Chorus]

He loves with sweetness and sincerity

While she may only pretend
