If...
i could have you
to keep you as my own
i would cherish the hour...
and the moment i found you
and give a blessing
to our God above,
for your precious presences
and cast my soul
upon your own,
and weep in great joy
for having found you
i would make a bond
and keep a prayer
to guide me,
in your lasting love
and search the stars
that dwell above us all
for our destiny
i would walk with you
in my mind
knowing,
the heavens cover you too
and look into the sky
hoping you are seeing
the same stars
... the same destiny
then, in the evening
in the darkening twilight
of a day gone by
i would find you
in my dreams,
and bring you close in the dark
to have you as my own
in secret
and if the golden glow
of a wondrous day
shall turn to rain,
or strife should touch
your precious heart
i would stay with you
to kiss away your tears
and walk with you,
laughing within the storm
together
then... by your words
and with your love
i will be found again
in your heart
and every pain
upon my broken soul
shall pass away,
with the thought of you
then someday
in the evening of my life
as the sun falls away
and blankets the trees
in a final amber glow
i will pass in happiness
knowing...
you have loved me completely
i will remember every season
with all that will have been
and hold your gentle touch
within my mind
for all time
and welcome in... the end
to dream of you forever
in my secret heaven
