Would that I could
I would sing you a sunrise
Bold and obscure
Like a September sky
Rolled up in passion
With moments of surprises
To win your affection
Made only for your eyes
Would that I could
I would sing of forever
On the edge of the woods
In fields of wildflowers
Longing and hopeful
Peaceful and contented
Fragrance for the soul
Filled with endless enchantment
Would that I could
I would protect you from peril
Like a true lover would
Completely transcendental
Hold and protect against
What harms might befall you
With all I possess
Remain faithful and true
