If Only You Would

The heart is forever inexperienced. - Thoreau

remembering when eternity stopped running and just stood

if i could

if i should

if only you would

would you hug my soul and hold my heart

you know the drill

would you make time stand still

would you carve your name in my window sill

where a heart stopped beating and stood still

if we could make our love overflow and spill

not to be misunderstood

i would wear you like a hood

i promise it would be good

because i know we could

if only you would

if you could cry

if you could try

if hurt would die

if lonely nights wouldn't lie

knock on wood

if only you would
