Oh What A Song I Could Sing

If I could just see what kind of a girl

Would have emerged from life’s nurtured way.

If I could glimpse… just once her gay smile

And watch her lighthearted play.

Oh, what a girl who’d have taken that road

To dare life to bring happiness!

Oh, what a girl who would reach for the sun

And all on her path would be blessed.

I once was that girl who walked in the beams

Of the soft and romantic night moon.

I danced in the clouds and believed in the world

And knew that true love would come soon.

But along the way too much hurt came along

And slowly that spirit did fade

The sun didn’t shine and I sang not the song

And I paid for the life that I’d made.

Now a soft breeze blows just under the sun

And sometimes the waves lap the shore,

And I walk in the light of the full, silver moon

And believe that there still might be more.

For although much was lost and her spirit was tossed

She still soars with the eagle’s strong wings,

And inside of her heart on a soft summer night

There still is a song that she sings.
