If I sat you down
Or drove you around
And showed you my town
Would you smile or frown?
Would you fly away again?
Would you only want me now and then?
If I held you softly
Bought you gourmet coffee
And showed you life the way
You’ve always wanted it to be
Would you fly away again?
Would you only want me now and then?
Would you be the sparkle in my eye?
Or is that just ‘pie in the sky’?
If I laid you down
On the roof of my house
And showed you the stars above
If I showered you with roses
And with a painting captured your poses
Could you ever show me your love?
Or would you fly away again?
