If only I knew ...

That someday I'd lose you .

Would you stay ?

Tell me if I asked you to would you stay?

Would you save me from going astray?

If only I hugged you tighter .

Would it make the weight on your shoulders lighter ?

If I dropped everything and wrapped my arms around you ,

Would you remove yourself from the queue ?

What if I told you we could start from the beginning ?

Do you ever see us winning ?

If only I could turn back time

would you swap me for a dime?

What if I called your name ?

Would you leave behind all fame ?

Tell me would things stay the same ?

Or are my thoughts just lame ?

If I changed my decision,

would you make it a division ?

If only you stayed .

If I started to sing our song ,

would you sing along ?

Would you reverse?

instead of laying in that hearse .

What if I told you that I loved you?

Would you turn back ?

Would you say you love me too?

What about ...

What about the fact that I still need you?

Would you speak to me softly?

Or would you speak to me hardly?

What if I gave you an update ...

would you stay and communicate?

tell me about what you ate

I guess it's never too late .

And when I look at the stars ...

Tell me are you looking back down on me ?

Do you see the bright light I see ?

Would you drive me to school ?

Teach me how to swim in a pool

Give me a reason to tell everyone that you cool.

Show everyone how not to be a fool.

If we share a snack ...

would you listen when I tell you about the weight I carry on my back ?

Would you help me make it a stack and pack it all in a sack ?

Would you bury it in your spot?

Or burn it with something hot?

Would you accompany me to church?

Tell me are you proud of me ?

Do you still see the things you've always wanted to see ?

I long to hear from you .

Do you wish to hug me in the flesh ?

Do you want our hearts to mesh ?

I'm sorry

But don't you worry

Your daughter will make you proud

and dare you say it out loud...

that you never left , you were always here .

Wiping away every single tear .

Holding my hand through every fear .

I love you ❤️

I really do

So sing our song up there

where everything is bright and fair.

And when it's time for you to fetch me,

don't utter my name

I'm not really one for fame .

I don't know how to play the hide and seek game .

Please greet me with a hug

I want to stick to you like a bug .

Hug me tight,

spin we around in the garden ...I'm quite light.

Show me your favourite sight.

Shine on my distant star

for now I'll continue admiring you...

from afar
