Z - If

If I could take a picture
Of this place that we know
Where we speak and make our own
Even though you are far away

If I can walk the streets
In the rain and think
Of how we stand together
In the damp and wet

If I can sit on a train
And think of you
And wonder what you are doing
While I am thinking

If I can hear your voice
In my mind
And let life just drift by
From my window high above

The city streets
That are full of people
All rushing about in the rain
Waving umbrellas
And looking for cabs

The shops bustling
The busses speeding up the hill
To beat the lights at the top
Taking people to work
And home again

If I can talk to you
With no interruptions
And sit with you
And just chat

If I can hold you close to me
And shut my eyes
Just for a while
And kiss you hello
Or goodbye

If I can be there
When you need me
And you can be there
When I feel down

If I can read your mind
And you can read mine
And we walk together
Along these streets of mine
And I show you what I have found

If I can tell you what I feel
Without fear of confusion
And then talk about
Other things that also matter

If I do all these things
Can I be your friend?
I care about you
And know that you care about me too.
