I would ask for time.... not for eternity;

But just enough for you and me,


To fill our glasses to the brim


With love and all that lies within.

That each might sip and taste the wine


Of love and life, and then in time,


Grow heady with loves sweetest scent,




And nurturing this timeless moment,


Hold it close for future time

To be recalled from deepest mind;


When life has gone, and you're still here,


Reach back in time for me my dear.

Look closely in your memory;


Thats where I'll rest so quietly.


No need to look to heaven above;

Look within, I am there my love.


I would ask for time.....not for eternity,


But just enough for you and me.

I would ask for time.... ....time
