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, And all the rain could turn 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 I cannot come home right now, And you cannot come here; 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 turn the harshest light To gold through sheer affection. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
