If I Were Your Love
If I were your love, who deeply cared for you,
I would wipe the tears of anguish from your eyes,
And I would plant poignant kisses on your cheeks,
Telling you, you are my beloved I recognize!
Gone through sufferings for many long dreary years,
From abject loneliness, severe heartache and pain,
I am the only one who can truly fathom your plight,
I am the one who would make you exultant again !
You deserved to be treated with kindness and respect,
Someone cruel unjustly denied you your right,
I would be your true friend, your devoted company,
Your confidant, no more alone you need to fight.
If I were your love, we would find pure happiness
In each other's passionate arms, we trust each other,
All the cruelties in the world - will be defeated
To true fervent romantic love, that's no wonder!
