I wish that I could be with you
And hold you in my arms,
Whisper all my love to you
And kiss away your tears.
I wish that I could take your cares
And put them all away,
Neatly folded into drawers
While pleasure lights your smile.
I wish that joy could step inside
Your heart and stay awhile, A
nd all the rain could tum into
A rainbow in the sun.
And all our loneliness like mist
Could fade into the blue,
A memory of sad, hard times
That happened long ago.
But you cannot come home to me right now,
And I cannot come there;
And so our dreams must be the fields
On which we laugh and play.
If life cannot be what we want,
It will, it will be so;
For love can tum the harshest light
To gold through sheer affection.
