If Only She Was Mine Poem by John Hawkes

IF ONLY SHE WAS MINE by John Hawkes

If only she was mine, what joy my heart would sing,
If only she was mine, a bell my heart would ring,

If only she was mine, my life would be fulfilled,
If only she was mine, my heart for once be still.

If she was mine, how happy life would be,
If only she was mine, my heart for once be free,

If only she was mine, the sun would rise each day,
If only she was mine, my tears would go away.
