IF ONLY

If I had wings of an eagle 
I would fly to the ends of the earth 
Finding the sweetest of fragrance 
To perfume every step you take.
If only my voice was like thunder 
Your name I would echo day and night 
People of every nation would know you 
Your beauty, your charm, your delight.
If only there were a stairway to the sky 
I would climb to the top of the world 
And cry aloud how much I love you 
As I adorn you with diamonds, rubies, and pearls.
If only I could write you a poem 
It would resonate from the bottom of my heart 
And until the sun stops shining 
My love for you shall never depart.
If only my love,
If only...
