Oftentimes, the greatest moments in life,
The greatest discoveries in life,
Can be found,
In the here and the now,
Between the I and the Thou...

Think back to your finest moments...

It all comes down to risk...
And trust...
With that most special person...

To borrow and modify a line by Dylan,

Are you willing to risk at all,
Or is your love -- is your life -- in vain...

"Is Your Love In Vain ?"

Do your love me, or are you just extending goodwill ?
Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt ?
I've been burned before and I know the score
So you won't hear me complain
Will I be able to count on you
Or is your love in vain ?

Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude ?
When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude ?
Do you know my world, do you know my kind
Or must I explain ?
Will you let me be myself
Or is your love in vain ?

Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
I've been in and out of happiness
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
And I've never been too impressed.

All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
Do you understand my pain ?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain ?

Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
Do you understand my pain ?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain ?

-- Bob Dylan (from the album, Street Legal)
