What if love was free
What if the sky were the sea
Would that be better for you or me

What if there was no doubt
What if we understood what life was about
Would we all laugh and shout

What if the sun never set
What if rain wasn't wet
Could we be better off yet

What if every cheek had a dimple
What if every move was habitual
Could life really be that simple

What if there was no war
What if nobody kept score
Should that lead us to adore more

What if love were perfect
What if we cherished every aspect
What if fiction were fact
Should we then be more able to connect

There is an utter in my mind
Sometimes is shouts and is unkind
At times it sings a carefree tune
As if it's a sunny day at noon

Oh, but it can be careless
Screaming at me with it's furiousness

In the morn when I awake
I wait,  I listen,  for my own sake
There is a voice that is so dim
It's hidden and arrives on a whim

But if you're careful and direct
You may hear the spoken secret
The faint hiss may escape my mind
Then it's no longer private
Then I can leave it behind

You need nothing but your smile
no cares, no worries, no style

As we venture out on an escapade
to ensure that our dreams never fade

Walk, talk, laugh and love
nothing else but heaven above

We roll in the clover,
one under, one over

We dare to caper away together
we don't even stop to notice the weather

When it starts to rain, we don't care
we giggle and find some cover to share

Oh, and when the night comes rolling in
that's when we know what this day has been

If but once in a while, we can take a chance
going off to explore in our lover's dance

Then we can suffer the days apart
knowing there's no end to what we let start

A sweet treat
A smooth heat
A bitter bite
A mellow delight
A delicate taste
So pleasantly placed
Perfect pleasure
To be had at your leisure
Flavored with a hint
Of refreshing peppermint
An essence of orange
A joy on the tongue
Melt in the mouth sensation
Rewarding any occasion
Chocolate's so dark and glossy
Mood soothing mystery
Try some and you'll see

Everything in me says "no"
But I still have to stay for the show

I'm not the type to leave slow
I rather cling round the shadows

I can always make you glow
When you follow from down below

I'm not the type to come and go
I seem to flow around like an echo

I can often cause a fiasco
Then turn about and become the hero

I'm not the type to not know
I undergo all to become a pro

When everything in me says "no"
I take a deep breath and ...blow

I met a man upon my walk
He seemed ever so inclined to talk
As he turned and walked in step with me
Under the shade of the gorgeous elm tree

Of what we spoke it did not matter
He stayed near me through all the chatter
We walked for a mile to the rivers edge
We sat on the bank, there on the ledge

Even the minutes of quiet were pure delight
I could have sat there with him throughout the night
When up I stood, he did then follow
Whispering around me like a graceful swallow

We crossed the bridge over the river
Hand in hand feeling the wood planks quiver
Beneath us the water so swift and clear
I've never let anyone before get so near

I awoke with a start, this memory on my mind
Perhaps this is the beginning and I can
Finally leave the past behind
Once again I might imagine that
People are kind

Please tell me why
I have to deny
I cannot verify
The one thing I try
That makes me high

Please tell me why
I have to defy
I cannot rely
On that which will satisfy
Keeping me from this lie

Please tell me why
I have to be sly
When everything is nigh
Still all want to vie
They want their piece of the pie
And I just want to unify

Please tell me why
Every beautiful butterfly
Has to prematurely die
It should be the harmony
That leads the way to unity

Please tell me why
I have to feel shy
I can't even cry
My eyes have run dry
I'll get by with just a sigh
