If I...

if there was a guarantee
that i could take your breath away
that i could make you weak in the knees
with every word i say
i'd talk til i was blue in the face

if i could make sure
that a kiss would make you happy
i'd keep my lips on yours til the world melted away
i'd kiss you til you made me stay

if it was certain
that you sleep better with me at your side
i'd lie there with you throughout the night
i'd go days without sleep just to watch you awake
i'd keep one hand on your cheek, with a wish beneath your pillowcase

oh, if i could write something
that would make you the happiest person in the world
i'd write until my wrist cramped
until our beautiful story unfurled

if i could just assure you
in how much i care, too
maybe you'd believe me
because i love you.
