"If Only For A While"
Well I hope that you are swell,
and I hope things are okay,
and I hope you know
I tried to meet
your standards every day;
And I hope that there's a smile
about the crazy things we'd do,
and I hope you laugh
and maybe cry
if just a tear or two;
As we could have made love last,
but we lost it all forever;
and I hope you know
I loved you so,
our time I'll always treasure;
We both promised side-by-side,
we'd be a team, stand tall and true!
But when troubles came
you left my side
after all I'd done for you;
Still I hope you are okay,
and you show that gorgeous smile!
But I hope you cry
when you look back,
if only for a while.
