If I could
If I could relive any day,
turn back the sun and moon,
It would be the one I first heard you say
softly, "I love you."
If I could have one shining hour
of virtue, wealth or fame
I'd trade it for the very hour
that you first had spoke my name.
If I could have but a single dream
to last my whole life through
I know I'd pick a tender scene
involving me and you.
If I could have but a single sip
to quench my thirst and need
I'd choose the wine of your sweet lips
and drink it greedily.
If I could do only right -
If my every deed was good -
I'd redo my wrongs that sent you away.
oh I would, only if I could... |
