If I Were In Love
March 1977, Song # 3
[display_podcast]
If I were in love
I might write a love song
If you understood
You might sing along
If I was a lover
the kind that writes poems
You and I might make a home
Beyond the thoughts of older goals
Eyes held into each other’s souls
Together striving towards the whole
If you felt inside
That you had to be free
I would try not to disagree
And if you liked the clear days
and I liked the rain
I would try to accept the sun’s flame
and even on those cloudy days
we’d lock each other in the gaze
That lovers often use to embrace
But when that will be
Is so hard to see
That I will not let it trouble me
So I’ll just keep on living
Till the future is now
And someday we may meet somehow
Beyond the thoughts of older goals
Eyes held into each other’s souls
together striving towards the whole
