if only I could  believe --
and you wouldn't lie,
there's the whole of heaven
opening to our deepening sighs.

Eden's Promise alive once more
dancing in our eyes,
 sails billowing far from shore
 distance us from the sadness of lost cries
and the nevermore of further good-byes.

I guess we can only be
who we are, and hope...
that to be enough...
But, somehow I think it will fall short
Of the promised "love you
so much"

That leave me bruised
each and everyday,
until my mind slips beneath
the darkness of night's breath,
there is no rest.

And the stars are the oars
come to ferry me home ----
at last, there will be no more
alone,

...if only I could believe;
if only you wouldn't lie
I could rest in total trust
never fearing another
cry...
 haunting my withered dreams
of  too many good-byes.

...if Only...
