Analysis of A Song of Love
If I had the wings to fly
I'd see you tomorrow.
If I had the hope to bring
I'd see you now.
We'd make each day a promise
and each night would pass too soon ~
If I had the wings to fly
I'd see you tomorrow.
If I had the hope to bring
I'd see you now,
and if I had the world to give
you'd have it in your hand.
Tomorrow cannot reach us now ~
we are too far apart ~
so dream of me, and live for me,
forever in my heart.
If I had the wings to fly
I'd see you tomorrow.
If I had the hope to bring
I'd see you now.
