if it's not your arms
that would be around me
and keep me warm
i shall not sleep.
if it's not your touch
that i so long have yearned
if it is not, i won't budge
now i've learned.
i'd choose to be blind
if it's not the color of your eyes
i'd look into each night,
every dark hour a lie.
if it's not you
my love, what would i do?
will it be your sweet voice
on the phone?
if not then, by choice
i'd rather be alone.
if it's not your body
on my sheets
then i'm so sorry,
i promise i won't sleep.
i know it will never be you
and there's nothing i could do.
