How Time Would Poison Me

 I could live my life not seeing you each day,

Not staring in your eyes or looking at your face.

I could face this world alone without your light,

Without your hand to hold, without you here at night.

I could do a lot of things, Baby, if I weren't here with you,

But, Oh, how Time would poison me,

I know I'd die a fool.

I dont need you in my life but, Baby, if you go,

The world would be so dull and trite, no Beauty would I know.

I could play it cool and act like I dont really care,

But truth is I would miss you so if you weren't always there.

I could be somebody else if I stopped beeing me for you,

But, Oh, how Time would poison me,

I'd make myself a fool.

I could be so different in many different ways,

If I had never met you on that distant summer day.

But different only means that you would not be here,

No Beauty in my life to make the ugliness just disappear.

My life could show so many things if you weren't in it, too,

But, Oh, how Time would poison me,

I'd die just to see you.

I dont need you in my life but, Baby, dont you see,

Without you it's so dull and trite and thats all it can be.

I wont say that I need you to go on with each day,

Cause I could live without you in my world of disarray.

I could still be me if I didn't have you,

But, Oh, how Time would poison me,

Oh, how I would miss you.

I wont lie and say that you're the only one,

Cause surely there are more like you that rest under the Sun.

But I will say I Love the way I feel when you are near,

And I would never give that up cause losing it is my worst fear.

I could go without your Love and even smile, too,

But, Oh, how Time would poison me,

I'd die wishing only for You.
