Light A Candle

If I could just go back for one hour

If I could just go back for one hour
I’d choose to spend it with you-
And I’ve been thinking and thinking
Of all the things we’d do.

First of all we would just sit
In a quiet and peaceful place
And I would just smile at you
And memorize your face.

I’d touch your hair like I used to
Reach out with a mother’s hand
Smooth it and straighten it
Caress each silky strand.

We could take a walk in the sunshine
And I could just listen to your voice’s sound
Hear you talk and laugh with me
Feel your presence all around.

I’d ask you some questions
And really listen to what you say
Understand and know you
Instead of rushing through my day.

And I’d put my arms around you
And hold you so close to me
Soak in your warmth and your love
Your spirit and energy.

I’d tell you how proud I was of you
In case you wondered just a bit
That I loved you more than life itself
And that will never quit.

I’d wipe the tears away for you
As our precious time begins to wane
Tell you I’ll be with you soon
And we’ll be together once again.
