I Want to Call you Sweetheart

I want to call you Sweetheart.

I want to call you "Sweetheart"

I want to call you "Baby"

I don't know if I can
I don't understand

I want to call you "Sweetheart'

I want to call you "Love"

I want to feel your hand inside mine
Warm and snuggled like a glove

I long to call you "Sweetheart"

I yearn to call you "Dear"

I want to feel your heartbeat
Pressing on me so near

I want to call you "Sweetheart"

I want to call you "Honey"

Is there something in the way
am I silly? a dummy?

I want to call you "Sweetheart"

I want to call you "Sugar"

You're still distant
What's in the way?
