Alas, If Only I Can
You are the sweetest woman
You are the most handsome man
I would give you the warmest embrace
Alas, if only I can
I would add you to my coffee
Or even take you by the hand
I would dance with you all night
Alas, if only I can
I would introduce you to all my friends
Or even invite you out with the clan
I would share my ice cream cone with you
Alas, if only I can
I would take you to the mosque
Whenever we hear the azan
I would watch Forrest Gump with you
Alas, if only I can
I would jot you down on paper
Observing all the emotions you fan
Then turn you into a lyric poem
Now that my friend I can
