If I Handle You With Care

Album: The Seven Autumn Flowers [2004]
Author: Robert James Wratten

I won’t bring things up, if upon them you don’t touch

If that‚s what you want, it’s whatever you want

I couldn’t be more clear, how day or night I’m here 

So we’ll leave it there, we’ll leave it there

  

Just never stop singing your song

I hadn’t heard it in so long

And if I handle you with care

It doesn’t mean I don’t think you are strong 

  

You say don‚t worry, but how can I not?

When once you were everything, and then some more 

I can’t promise not to worry, only not to scratch beneath

The skin that is so thin, when it comes to me

 

Just don’t forget it’s everything

That you’re not like everyone

And never stop your singing

You’re as good as people come 

  

Whatever we have seen, it’s just you and me, I haven’t gone

You’re right to believe, I’ll always keep you safe from harm

I’ll always keep you safe from harm

I won’t bring things up, if upon them you don’t touch

If that’s what you want, it’s whatever you want
