If
If I could hold only you know
Still as the night when you cried alone
Solitary as the day you sat on that stone
And still be your king without a throne
If I could only recover love unknown
If I could hold only you now
If I could see only you now
Knocking on my door once again
Singing with me through sunshine and rain
Kneeling with me amidst the sugarcane
If memory did not make it more vain
If I could see only you now
All I believe have turned to dust
Cocoon and butterflies change and change
Time moves forward on life's backward range
Sorrow is a heart broken and strange
How love our world can so disarrange
All I believe have turned to dust
We long in wind and rain have learned nothing still
Not what we know, but what we believe we are
And nothing like is told by seers or star
Expectations make the truth strange as far
While we pine like a surf to cross the bar
We long in wind and rain have learned nothing still
If I could hold you now
Once again beside the lime tree still
And undo the errors of our will
Keep the world with jasmines fill
If I could you again over the hill
If I could hold you now
