If I Gave You a Moment

Would it be the same?

If I gave you a moment, would you look in my eyes?

If I gave you a minute, would you think it was wise?

Would you ask me to dinner or run at first glance?

If I gave you an evening, would you give me a chance?

*

If I gave you a day, like that day long ago,

would you hold me forever and never let go?

Would you promise to love me for all of our time?

Would you give me a ring? Would you vow to be mine?

*

If I gave you a heartbeat forged from our own,

would you cherish the decades from baby to grown?

Would you soothe all her worries and dry all her tears?

And hold her in your heart for all of your years?

*

If I gave you a lifetime, would it ever be enough?

Would we still feel the romance? Would we run out of love?

If I gave you a moment, could you look in my eyes?

If I gave you a minute, could you still say good-bye?
