I'D BE THE LONELY ONE

I'D BE THE LONELY ONE

Ask me what I love about you, I'll answer you like this...
I'll gently pull you by the hips, and passionately kiss...
The girl I saw, so long ago, too beautiful,to miss...
And longed for love to find us, and love did not resist...

Ask me to explain to you, just where my love comes from...
And I won't hesitate to give you reasons , this is one...
I asked you to be mine forever, forever isn't done...
And as the years unfurl for us, I still know you're the one...

Ask me if my love will die , I'll laugh at you and say...
That you're the air I breathe my love, that fills my lungs each day...
The bright that shines from every smile you give me, lights my way...
You're soft and loving gentle voice, the music that you play...

Ask me how my every thought, somehow keeps you in mind...
Look deep into my heart and love,  it's there I think you'll find...
That you are there , into my soul, like branches intertwined...
To make my world just melt away, to everything else I'm blind...

Ask me could I stand a day, a moment without you...
What would I begin to say, how could I bring it through...
Where would heartbreaks headstone lie, what would become of true...
And how would I revisit them, as I'd be forced to do...

The things the broken hearted do, could I survive intact...
All days and hours empty, filled with memories that...
Put corruption in my heart, how would my heart react...
To the nightmare that would be my life, if all of this were fact...

Ask if you're my dream come true, I'll give to you that smile...
You said that turned your head, and heart , and has for quite a while...
The thoughts and ways you've given love, have come in your warm style...
My love you've nurtured all these years, as though a newborn child...

Ask me if I lived before I met you, and you'll know...
Rebirth for me, was when we met, I hope I let it show..
If I were lost, you're love would take me back, to years ago...
And give me shelter from the cold, and killing winds that blow...

Ask me if these words express, the way I really feel...
If time or circumstance, could dull my love, would love reveal...
The time we've worked to make a life, with meaning, that is real...
With bond that ties us two as one, as hard as any steel...

Ask me love, these things, and I'll tell you it's alright....
That everything you wonder, I have wondered every night...
But kiss me once with soft sweet lips, and give to me the sight...
Of love inside my arms again, so close, in pale moonlight...

Ask me baby, I will tell, all these things to you...
That life would have a dark and empty space, and this is true..
The sky would be without all of the songbirds , that once flew...
And I, would be the lonely one, with heartache breaking through...

Ask me.................
