If I could . . .
If I could . . . take the pain away
The hurt, the guilt, the shame,
I would do it in a heart beat my love
And all things then would change.
I'd give you back the sunlight
Blue skies and warm summer breeze,
We'd walk together you and I
The world would be ours to see . . .
My love would set you free.
If I could . . . give you anything
Of health and wealth and riches,
To have you by my side my love
These would be my only wishes.
I'd give you the joy of children
The laughter and the love,
We'd share our happiness together
And bless the stars above.
If I could . . . make a difference
Just to see and make you smile,
I'd walk the endless nights with you
And love you all the while.
I'd bear the pain of darkness
The endless suffering too,
For it would matter not my love
I would be there with you.
If I could . . . not go on living
Were we ever to be parted,
To leave this world light hearted . . .
Cherished more than when I started,
I would give you my life's blood
My heart and my soul blessed,
And know that I was loved
As I go peacefully to my rest.
Together we can face that world
Of darkness, moon and stars,
And walk the nights for ever more
Not questioning our love.
Your torment would be banished
The pain no longer there,
No more endless sorrow
Gone your tragic despair.
If I could . . . love you forever
What a joy that would be,
Never to be parted
My love would set us both free.
