if only you were mine

i wish i were a butterfly, so beautiful, so free
so i could ease your pain with just a simple glance at me
i wish i were a tree, so strong and tall, so tough and wide
so i could give you shade and comfort from the sun's harsh light
i wish i were a love song that is heart-felt and endless
so i could be your life's melody and your happiness
i wish i were the wind, so cool and very refreshing
so i could follow forever to wherever life brings
i wish i were an angel of God, so kind and so warm
so i could watch over you as the day goes by with charm
all these i wish, and i hope someday all these would be
so i could be a simple box of joy and love to thee

and if only i were to fly high, i would reach the sky so blue
so i could pinch a piece of cloud and bring it home to you
and if only i were to sing, let your name be my melody
i would sing my lungs out and offer all the voice in me
and if i were to cry, then i would choose to be with you
so i could lay on your shoulders and set free all my gloom
and if i were to lose you, i would rather choose to die
so i would not feel the pain of emptiness in my life
and if i were to die, i would choose to be in your heart
so i could die saying, love remains even if we're apart

and if i were not to fulfill these, i should be thankful

that you were the greatest love of my heart, body and soul
