If You Were Here

.
If you were here,
I’d be with you,
I would softly talk to you,
You would talk to me,
Of restless smiles from timid strangers,
And eager acts of anxious beggars,
Then in the quiet evening hours,
By the fireside,
I would hold you,
And you would hold me.

If you were here,
I’d be with you,
I would gladly sing to you,
You would sing to me,
A song of how our lives will be,
In joyful rhyme and harmony
Then in the early morning sunshine,
When I greet you,
I would kiss you,
And you would kiss me.

If you were here,
I’d be with you,
I would laugh with you,
You would laugh with me,
Over comical times in the crowded park,
Sharing picnics that overlap in the dark,
Then in the darkness we would lie,
To rest and sleep;
I would love you,
And you would love me.
