"If Only" If only I could freeze time for a moment And write this sweet memory down in my heart If only I could stop all the seconds --never know the time when you must depart If only I could postpone the next morning Or trick the moon to prolong this magical night If only I could hold you close forever By this soft, sweetly sleepy candlelight If only I was free to stay with you To leave caution and fear beyond your door If only I could stare into your eyes always Your eyes that both mesmerize and adore If only I could hold your hand for a lifetime Feel your pulse echo true to my name If only I could kiss you for hours Set your heart and you very soul aflame If only I never lost this one moment When the world has all but melted away If only we could live this dream forever Just forget both tomorrow and yesterday if only I was the angel you've needed Then i could fly you to paradise and home If only we could be there together And I'd never again be alone If only you stayed here beside me To hypnotize and seduce with your charms If only I could reach out and touch you Or just fall asleep in your arms If only... I could.   --Chrys... Chrystel Portugues Copyright© 1998
