IF I COULD SING

I thought I would take the time
To compose this crafted poem
Just to say I love you
Then I'll recite it at home.

I'd like to tell you feelings
That get brighter by the years
If I could sing I'd be crooning
Velvet words into your ears.

If I could play the guitar
I would wail a lead to you
And I'd strum a melody
With your spirit as its tune.

I could be the foundation
If I'd only play the bass
I'd hold down the bottom end
Groove the tempo to its pace.

I would play a sonata
Lightly on the piano
If I could follow the keys
Beautiful music would flow.

If I was a good drummer
I'd pound out a solid beat
I would create a new song
Getting hotter than our heat.

There is one thing I can do
Get out the paper and pen
And write a sparkling love song
Of a dream that will not end.

So I thought I'd take the time
To write what I think is true
My life is a symphony
And I would play it for you/
