in another lifetime

In another lifetime………


I would take a different road.
A road that led me right to you.
Instead of zigging I would zag.
Because it would bring me to you.
It would bring me to us.

In another lifetime
Dreams would come true.
Misery would be so far away.
Tenderness and love.
Would be an everyday thing.
Instead of an everyday dream.

How different it would have been…
How different it would have been…
If only I had taken the road that led to you.
Instead I took the road filled with life’s potholes.
Heartbreak and heartache…
Misery and sadness…
A life of uncertainty…
A life filled with almost….

Now I sit and wonder why I went the way I did.
It was so long ago yet it haunts me everyday.
A ghost?
A demon?
A lost dream?
It is there with me wherever I go.
If I had moved this way instead of that.
If I had dared to believe…
Instead fairy tales were too good to be true.
I turned away from you.

In another lifetime….
I would never turn away.
I would never stray.
All my dreams and yours…
Woulda come true.
The fairy tale was right before me.


In another lifetime…
The fairy tales comes true.
Our lives are shared for eternity.
Our love lasts longer.
And is stronger than any devil.
A bond to last a million lifetimes.

Oh if only I get another lifetime.
