You will forget the games you play,
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
You will forget the games you play,
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
You will forget the games you play,
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
You will forget the games you play,
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
You will not laugh then at my plight,
If with another you share your night.
You will not laugh then at my plight,
If with another you share your night.
You will not laugh then at my plight,
If with another you share your night.
You will forget the games you play,
You will forget these games you play,
Games, you will forget these games you play,
Games, you will forget these games you play.
Laughter will dare not near the lips,
This is the heart's affair, no game to keep.
Games you will forget these games you play.
Wounds upon wounds you'll bear and bleed,
Swallow your blood, a life indeed.
Do not cry, seal your lips in grace,
Love is not a game, in this place.
When the heart's involved, you'll see,
Love's no game, it's destiny.
Games you will forget these games you play.
Love's no game, it's a fiery pyre,
Do not mistake it for a desire.
Games you will forget these games you play.
Games, you will forget these games you play.
This love will make you weep and wail,
Games you will forget these games you play.
This love's not easy, understand,
A river of fire, you must withstand.
Games you will forget these games you play.
You will forget the games you play.
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
You will not laugh then at my plight,
If with another you share your night.
From us, no loyalty you'll find,
But once, at least, your heart unwind.
You've made the world your own to see,
Now, make us yours, and just agree.
For God's sake, drop this veil's disguise,
Lift your face, the moment flies.
The world, in prayer, has bowed its head,
For God's sake, drop this veil instead.
We do not grasp your eyes' desire,
This hiding and revealing, what fire?
For God's sake, drop this veil's facade,
Beloved, beloved, my heart is awed.
This confusion, we cannot face,
For God's sake, drop this veil's embrace.
For today, we are you, no other's trace.
The night of union, why this veil?
Lift the veil from your face, unveil.
The night of union, why this veil?
Lift the veil from your face, unveil.
You've caused such pain, such endless wrong,
Look this way, with grace and song.
Always, you've met me with your ire,
Smile one day, and fan the fire.
Always, you've met me with your ire,
Smile one day, and fan the fire.
In love, all cruelty is embraced,
This is devotion, nothing misplaced.
You torment me in endless ways,
Try it with another, in a maze.
If on something, she is displeased,
Do what you will, let your heart be appeased.
Whether she agrees, that is her choice,
But try to soothe her, with your voice.
You will forget the games you play,
If to love's pathways you come to stay.
