To tell you more stories
The happy, lonely and tough
How I got out still alive
Or how I really must
I want to live long enough
To see more smiles
Grow out of your
So beautiful face
To trace the wonder
And the awe in your eyes
When you simply ponder
I hope to live long enough
To watch you trying to be
The person you want to be
To be that person you hope to be
To become who you wish to be.
I will live long enough
To catch the seconds
Ever drifting by
To create a place in
Your lovely heart
Where we never part.
