AS YOU LOVE HER
(Sherriff / O'Dwyer)

as recorded by Maureen Evans
1963


I wish you'd love me as you love her,
And that you'd need me as you need her.
I wish you'd kiss me as you kiss her,
Because I love you as you love her!

Your eyes are misty, so are mine,
She broke your heart like you broke mine.
I need your loving as you need her,
Because I love you as you love her!

You hold her close to you each night, it seems,
I hold you close to me but just in dreams!
I know you cry when she's away,
For I cry too most every day!

Those words you whisper when she's near,
Tell her the things I long to hear.
I'll wait for you until you leave her,
Because I love you as you love her!

You hold her close to you each night, it seems,
I hold you close to me but just in dreams!
I know you cry when she's away,
For I cry too most every day!

Those words you whisper when she's near,
Tell her the things I long to hear.
I'll wait for you until you leave her,
Because I love you as you love her,
Because I love you as you love her!
