Sweet Pear Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Sweet pear, sweet pear 

Those who say they love you would never dare 

I'll watch out for you 

I'll always be there 

In the hour of distress you need not fear 

In all the world there's only one true love 

And finding it's hard enough 

I bless whatever's in the sky above 

For bringing you to me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But there's a void without your kiss 

I wake on the precipice above the abyss 

And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss 

Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with 

Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong 

That made you want to run away 

And now you're back where I pretend you belong 

I wonder every night and day 

How long 

Photos 

I swear this is my prayer 

'til we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere 

Or lost in the world across a crowded room 

I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
