If You Were Copyright © Donna J. Willis If you were a place you would be my heaven A vision beyond peace beyond all everything If you were a song you would sound like morning When the birds start singing and the day is born If I were a tree I'd protect you through all seasons With my outstretched arms and my big soft leaves If I were a book my title would be you and Everytime you picked me up words would all be new If you were a place you would be my heaven A vision beyond peace beyond all everything But if we never get a chance to see each others smile Or touch each other's skin I would not give up the chance to do this all over again If you were a thought you could be on my mind always Because nothing else compares to you I know If you were a sound I would play you back so many times You would swear that the words come from my soul If I were your shadow I would follow you in the sun And go inside you in the cold If you were a place you would be my heaven A vision beyond peace beyond all everything But if we never get a chance to see each others smile Or touch each other's skin I would pray for one more chance to do this all over again If you were a fragrance I would sprinkle you behind each ear So  everytime I took a breath I could smell you from within If I were a feeling I would start at the top of your head Going all the way down just to start all over again If you were a place you would be my heaven A vision beyond peace beyond all everything If we were to never see each others smile Or never again touch each others skin You have to know I would never pass up I would beg for one last chance To do this all over and over again
