Wish I could be Your confidant As I was when first we met Our hearts were free Between you and me There were no secrets yet We heard the birds They sang no words Each note we knew was true Wish I could be Your confidant And again confide in you Wish I could be Your confidant Resting in your arms Instead I lie awake In night’s dark lake Beset by false alarms Solace I sought From troubled thought Nightmares rushing in Wish I could be your confidant And we’d share dreams again

BRIDGE I’ve waited all the Summer Though Fall and Winter’s chill Come Springtime in the Valley Will I be wishing still….

…That I could be Your confidant As I was when first we met Our hearts were free Between you and me There were no secrets yet
