If Only Time Would Cease

If only time would cease.

I’d have time to adore

Every freckle, line, and crease

Every detail and more.

 

If only time would cease.

I’d have time to say

How every line, freckle, and crease

Has brightened my day.

 

If only time would cease.

I’d have time for you

For everything you’d want to do,

For staring into your eyes so blue.

 

If only time would cease.

Then I wouldn’t feel the aches in my knees

From kneeling by your side,

Arranging these lilies.

If only time would cease...
