Analysis of If I
If I think for a while
I sit and realise the reasons for my smiles
If I look at you for a second
I know its you that my heart beckons
If I touch you for a minute
I realise that my love for you is so infinite
When I open my eyes to you each morning
You're like the brightest sun, you're my favorite dawn
And you know that if you ever need me
I'll cater for whatever your needs be.
