If Only

Were I a giraffe I'd give you the moon By biting off pieces until its consumed, If I were a Hippo I'd give you my lake By crushing the crocodiles caught in my wake. Were I a monkey I'd give you my tree By building a tree house for just you and me, If I were a leopard I'd give you my spots By rubbing your body against them a lot! Were I the eagle I'd give you the sky By screaming your name out wherever I fly, If I were a toad I'd give you my wart.... But I'm only a man who offers his heart.
