Can You Be True? Lyrics - North - Elvis Costello

Can you be true? 

Can this possibly be real? 

I knew quite suddenly 

Do you sense how I feel? 

I long to hear you whisper my name 

'Til you tell me 

"My Darling, you may be my man." 

There will be days when you must go from my sight 

There may be nights when clouds deny us starlight 

Only time will tell us 

I hope that it speaks gently if it isn't meant to be 

Then again 

By then we might not be listening so attentively

I will be there 

If the days bring torments and trials 

To close the distances only measured in miles 

I long to hold you all through the night 

And to tell you 

"My Darling, you make everything seem right" 

And then I'll hear you calling in my name 

And I'll answer 

"My Darling, I may be your man"
