if only i had more time
by Lisa-Dawn SparlingIf only I had more time
I would give you gentle backrubs in front of the fire.
If only I had more time
I would welcome you home from work in only my high heals and an apron.
If only I had more time
.
I would light candles and run us a bath and you could wash my chest as I lay on yours,
If only I had more time
.
I would set the stereo outside so we could dance barefoot on the grass.
If only I had more time
I would lie in bed beside you as I watch you sleeping right now.
If only I had more time
.
