What I wouldn't give

What I wouldn't give for just a moment more,

To hold you in my arms, and feel my heartbeat soar.

What I wouldn't give for a minute on the clock, 

To look upon your body, or just to hear you talk.

What I wouldn't give for another precious hour, 

To sit beside you quietly and feel the building power.

What I wouldn't give for the passing of a day, 

All the things we wanted to but never got to say,

What I wouldn't give for the stretching of a week,

Crossword puzzles, old movies, and dancing cheek to cheek.

What I wouldn't give for the full turn of the Moon,

Kisses every midnight, breakfast every noon.

What I wouldn't give for the luxury of a year, 

What we did would not matter, because you would be here.

What I wouldn't give for a lifetime of my girl, 

You and me together, taking on the world.

To pull this time together - I admit it would be tough, 

But I could have forever, Darling - it wouldn't be enough.
