Better Not Tell Her

Better not tell her
That I was your lover
Better not make her
Jealous of me
Better convince her
There was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary

But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The Moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after

Better not tell her
Why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot
In the summer in Madrid

Let it all go now
Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song
That you hear in the wind

But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The Moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after

Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still

But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The Moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after

Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I'd die for your love
That I still love you
