if i could know
the words to write
the things to say
the perfect way
my words will fly
to far off lands
with soft wings
and rhymes that sing
if words could fly
and begin to sing
they would enchant
the hearts of kings
oh merry, how merry
that music must be
my words that turn
into songs of glee
and if all my words
come home to you in a song
the things I want to say
shall be where they belong.
