If Only

If only I could freeze time,

I'd make this day eternal ...

I would spare you the fear you will face tomorrow

in exchange for keeping the anxiety I feel today

 

If only I could freeze time,

I would make this moment last

To preserve your childhood giggles

and protect you at all times

 

If only I could freeze time,

I want to never forget your innocent smile

Your baby soft skin, your 'biggest hugs ever'

and your tender kisses on my cheek

 

If only I could freeze time,

I'd be completely selfish and keep you by my side

But I know you deserve more than what I can give

You deserve the world and more

 

If only I could freeze time,

I'd rob of you the kind of joy you give me

The kind of happiness that nothing can compare to

The immeasurable love that overflows my heart
