"If Only"
If only I could freeze time
for a moment
And write this sweet memory
down in my heart
If only I could stop all
the seconds
--never know the time when
you must depart
If only I could postpone
the next morning
Or trick the moon to prolong
this magical night
If only I could hold you
close forever
By this soft, sweetly sleepy
candlelight
If only I was free to stay
with you
To leave caution and fear
beyond your door
If only I could stare into
your eyes always
Your eyes that both mesmerize
and adore
If only I could hold your
hand for a lifetime
Feel your pulse echo true
to my name
If only I could kiss you
for hours
Set your heart and you very
soul aflame
If only I never lost this
one moment
When the world has all but
melted away
If only we could live this
dream forever
Just forget both tomorrow
and yesterday
if only I was the angel
you've needed
Then i could fly you to
paradise and home
If only we could be there
together
And I'd never again be alone
If only you stayed here
beside me
To hypnotize and seduce
with your charms
If only I could reach out
and touch you
Or just fall asleep in your
arms
If only...
I could.
