If I

If I could tell you why I would

but time and strength allows me not

if i could tell you how i would

but it seems i can’t, seems i forgot

if i should cry i’ll hide from you

to make sure you don’t cry for me

if i should die i’ll see you soon

i’m there for you as you were for me

if i could and if i should

i’ll make it known, all i’ve lived

if i would i’ll hide yet see

all the ways you live for me

wait not til night to smile with me

for if i should at day you’ll grieve

wait not til spring to do or say

for winter might be my final stay
