One Day

If I had but a moment to share real love,
And a lifetime to live less than you,
I’d take just one moment in your loving arms,
I’d take this, and I know what I’d do;
If I had only one day to call you my wife,
Or forever with someone else be,
That one day would sweetly become now my life,
That one day , evermore, you and me,
If I had only one month to live, love, and laugh,
To cherish the things of this earth,
I’d spend it with you, and together we’d share,
Higher love, rising up to rebirth;
If I had only one year to deliver your dreams,
To fulfill your desires, make them real,
I would harness, with joy, supernatural means,
To live love, and our wounded hearts heal;
If I had only five years to share what we share,
To experience relationship things,
I’d rather spend five years with you, in our love,
Than fifty with what lesser love brings;
I’d rather spend five years with you, in our love,
Than fifty with what lesser love brings.
