If you were here
If you were here
If you were here, life would smile
The desert would taste the Nile
Birds would never stop singing
The sun would never stop burning
Trees would blossom in the fall
Leaves would grow but never fall
My heartbeats would call your name
Each beat would never be the same
I would look at you and never blink
Into your deep heart I would sink
I would feel the warmth of your breath
Butterflies would never know death
Stars would happily dance in the sky
Mountain dew would never dry
The sun would never set
Trees would never be wet
Snow would never melt
Sorrow would never be felt
Joy would always dominate
The moon would never be late
The desert would be green
Sand would never be seen
Flowers would no longer wither
Day and night would be seen together
Storms would stop blowing
Rivers would never stop flowing
If you were here, in my arms so near
Life would stop orbiting only to hear
The heart that beats only for your sake
Promise me you will never break
