If

If nine lives are to be lived I feel I’ve lived them all Since I last saw your face If a man dies a thousand deaths I feel I’ve died them all Since I last felt your lips If looking is forever Then I’ve seen eternity Since last I saw your eyes If the sky never ends Neither will father time Until I hold you once again If time flies by So too it was With you and I For the moments I held you Were far to mere There’s no place for me That doesn’t hold your face The sunrises and sunsets Only remind me Of the wind blowing through your hair When I breathe the morning air There’s nothing but your scent Rising everywhere If words make a man foolish Then such a fool am I For the only thing I speak of Is my open heart and soul And yours Is the only voice I hear
