Asking

 

 

If I could spend my days with you

 

            Folded into your warmth and gentleness

 

If I could keep the candle from burning to the bottom

 

            And wile away my dreams with you

 

If I could keep the clock from passing time

 

            Just to stay gathered up in your arms

 

If I could cry away my hurts and always

 

            Have you there to wipe away my tears

 

If you could love me just enough

 

            To keep the embers bright

 

I’d ask for nothing more

 

            To make my life complete
