Leeds and Eloise
(Dunton)


Dear my darling Eloise,
Offering my protection,
Hiding my affection,
Sitting here trying not to stare.
Here I am.

Dear my darling Mr. Leeds,
Hold my hand if you are able,
Keep it underneath the table.
No I don't think my momma oughta see.
Here I am.

Can't you understand why I'm so torn.
I held you on the day you were born.
Now I'm not saying I don't want you.
It'll just take a little getting used to.

Dear my darling Mr. Leeds,
You know I feel so guilty,
Every time you kiss me
But stars above all shine for you and me.
Here I am.

Dear my darling Eloise,
My hands are shaking,
My will is breaking.
Waiting here loaded for the bear.
Here I am.

Can't you understand why I'm so torn.
I held you on the day you were born.
Now I'm not saying I don't want you.
It'll just take a little getting used to.

Maybe someday when the time is right,
We will step into the light.
So many things can happen.
So many things to share.
I'm waiting on the clouds to break to feel prepared.
To face the bear...

Dear my darling Eloise.
Darling I am loaded for the bear.
Dear my darling Eloise.
Darling I am trying not to care.
