If You Were My Lover
If you were my lover
What would I say?
What would it be like
Day after day?
Would we be happy
Loving and carefree:
Living in bliss
Oh so happily?
Would we make love
With passion and fire:
Would mutual attraction
Fuel our desire?
Would our friends be so happy
That we found each other
Would they say that we truly
Belonged to one another?
Would our families, too,
Celebrate us as a pair:
Is our happiness and joy
Big enough to share?
Would the world look upon you
As Juliet and Romeo, me
And say "just how lucky
Can one couple be?"
Would our happiness be complete
On the day of our wedding:
Is that where our future lies;
Is that where we'd be heading?
If you were my lover
I know what I'd say:
I will tell you I love you
Each and every single day.
But you are not my lover:
You're just a fantasy.
If you were real, though
Is this how it would be?
