Only if I could see you
feel your presence
Only if I could keep you
always near
This I would do
only if I could
Could be forever
with you.

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.
All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.
I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

In another place, another time
This lady
Was my nursery rhyme.
She held me close, she kept me far
She taught me to believe
In my star.

Hold me close
Hold me tight
Let me sleep
Thru the darkest night.

Is the end the answer
Will the truth be told?
No more to wonder
No need to scold
For the truth is the answer
The truth is what’s told.

Hold still, hold quiet
Let the night bring peace and joy
Forever and a eternity.
