If only you could glimpse behind my eyes
And view the beauty that you juxtapose
Your grinning hazel eyes are lustrous skies
And freckles splash like raindrops ‘cross your nose.
If only you could listen through my ears
And hear the melody that is your voice
If I could listen to you laugh for years
I wouldn’t wish to have another choice.
If only you could live beneath my skin
And feel the way your arms embrace my soul
The way you stroke my body is a sin
And lights my nerves ablaze like burning coal.
If only you could comprehend your worth
Then you wouldn’t want to leave this Earth.

If only you could glimpse behind my eyes
And view the beauty that you juxtapose
Your grinning hazel eyes are lustrous skies
And freckles splash like raindrops ‘cross your nose.
If only you could listen through my ears
And hear the melody that is your voice
If I could listen to you laugh for years
I wouldn’t wish to have another choice.
If only you could live beneath my skin
And feel the way your arms embrace my soul
The way you stroke my body is a sin
And lights my nerves ablaze like burning coal.
If only you could comprehend your worth
Then you wouldn’t want to leave this Earth.
