If I Were An Astronaut
If I were an astronaut - I'd look down on you -
Out from where the earth is big and round and green and blue.
And on lift-off - I would wonder - exactly where you'd be;
And as I flew - I'd wonder, too - if you'd be looking up at me!
If I were a factory worker - plodding through my day,
I'd wonder what you would be doing - in every single way.
And I'd be thinking of you - every minute through,
And secretly, I'd wonder, too, if you'd be thinking of me, too!
If I were an old salt sailor - bobbing o'er the sea -
I'd dream about you every night - and imagine I could be -
Back wrapped in your arms again - the way I used to do -
When everything I needed then - I always found with you!
But alas I am no astronaut - nor factory worker, too!
Nor even a salt water sailor - ever missing you!
But still I need you all I could - and hope and even pray -
That your narrow path and mine, my love, will cross again some day!
