If I Could


If I could, I would be
    Your house and your home;
Always there for you every day and night.
I'd be your shelter from the storms,
    Yet I'd present to you the sunny days
       Perfect skies,
                      because your eyes deserve no less.

If I could, I would be
    your bed - blanket, pillows and all;
And at night, you can lie on me
    cry on me, ease your relief on me...
But you would never find sleep with me, because
    If I could, I would
       give you all the comfort you need,
Here in my arms, you'll feel no need for dreams
    for these arms would forever work
       to fill your life with them
Today and tonight
A new love for you?
    I'd rather give you a love oh-so right

If I could, I would
    be both the sun and the moon
Be the endless light in your eyes
    On your path to the horizon in sight
If I could, I would
    fly to the skies
your love lifting me high,
    as I take down each of the stars and
       leave you with an empty night
No diamond in the sky for you to
    wish you may, to wish you might...
Because I would take them all in my heart,
    so it could be the one to make
       all your wishes come true.

If I could, I would
    sing you a song so melodious
the notes would subdue the wildest hearts, 
    ease every soul
       mellow even The Lord above,
    so He could relieve Himself
from the world below...
that He may shed an infinite tear
    to replace any and every one that you've let fall
for too damn long already...

If I could, I would
    never be there to catch you when you fall...
I love you that much,
    because I would rather be there forever at your side
guide you along your path,
    help you over your hills,
       through your obstacles
side by side with every step you take,
    so that you would have nothing to worry about.

If I could, I would
    never tell you "I love you"
from the bottom of my heart...
because if I had to give you all of my heart today
    just to reach those words within me
what would I have left to offer you tomorrow?
For my heart never does skip a beat
    when I think of you...
Instead, it flies
    one heartbeat after the other
lining, intertwining around you
    covering you with just a portion
of my ongoing
    and foreverliving
       love.

For you,
    I'd give the tip of my lips
       to always connect with yours whenever you wish,
    My eyes to see yours
       and you alone,
    My arms to be your shelter
       your home,
    My voice to sing you
       an eternal song
    My heart to offer
       a love so strong

If I could, I would
    be your beginning and end,
    a love so true and your truest friend.

If I could, I would
    be the man of your life
Your hopes and your dreams,
and your world.
    And Girl
       all that I could, all that I would
                 ask of you,
        is to hopefully be
    the very same way
for me.
