Work Text:
If you had a singer's voice
Would you sing?
If you had a guitarist's fingers
Would you play a little tune?
Would you feel the life
Pouring out from your soul
Into the world,
Would you feel
All that you were sharing
And smile?
Life isn't a song
Yet here we are
We're together in it
'Til the end.
We might harmonise on a note
On a line or two
And never even stand the wiser,
We might strike a chord
In another's heart
And never even feel the connection.
Isn't that life
Isn't that lovely
Isn't that the chance we take
Every day of our lives?
I'd never give it up
For the world
In a million or more years
Until the sun burnt out
And left me standing in the dark
Searching for a light
Searching for a hand to hold
Someone to ask:
What went wrong?
Am I really alone?
But maybe for you
I would.
My heart beats
And so does yours.
What a lovely enchantment that is.
What a lovely song!
