How Is It That I Care?

How is it that I care?

                        For many days I've seen her face,
                        And watched her walking there,
                        Within my heart begins to race,
                        How is it that I care?

5                       Does her heart belong to another man?
                        Or should I lay mine bare?
                        I would embrace her now if I could,
                        How is it that I care?

                        Many things doth hold me back,
10                      How could I approach this maiden fair?
                        For I am plain and courage lack,
                        How is it that I care?

                        Yet if her heart to me were true,
                        And if we would but dare,
15                      Together we can find the answer to,
                        How is it that I care?
