If I Could Reach Across the Miles

If I could reach across the miles I’d be reborn with just your smile Looking straight into my path Finding you alone at last. In our secret place of rendezvous Where time and space are old and new You and I will thus converge As if two atoms split were merged. Above the clouds and down in the flowers I’d find you any place or hour. Down in Juarez or out in Spain The Mojave Desert where it never rains. The cold North Pole or Italian Alps At the old Grand Canyon I’d surely shout. To you out there with the long dark curls And eyes like stars that shine like pearls. Sitting by Old Man River Watching it wander to the sea With flowers all around on the green grass ground Patiently waiting for me. Knowing my arrival means both our survival As birds can’t live without wind; We’re one complete mind You’re rhythm I’m rhyme, I’ll find you my dear, sweet friend.
