I wish...

I wish my blood could be a river
and your love a tiny boat,
so as you drifted through my veins,
into my heart you’d float.

I wish my soul were on an air stream,
up above the mountains, high,
so I could soar beside the birds
and in your heart I’d fly.

I wish my mind were like a camera
where no picture ever dies,
so I could prove that I have seen
the heaven in your eyes.

I wish my love could sing a ballad
helping us to harmonise
the feelings deep inside two hearts,
our dream to realise.

I wish that I were sat beside you,
fingers on piano keys,
so that we could make sweet music
to serenade the trees.

I wish my life contained no wishes,
and we never heard goodbyes,
so every day our hearts could share
the heaven in your eyes.
