Verse

Sarah, if I could go flying up through the night
With the warm wind arush in my ears and my hair,
And the huge silent majesty of the stars’ light,
I would not, unless I had you too with me there.

Were I offered the crown of a kingdom complete
With a valley, a mountain, and also a sea,
(Not to mention some slaves for the washing of feet)
I’d refuse if, unless you could rule it with me.

I could stumble upon a huge pile of gems
Or discover a lamp full of wishes galore.
I could find a vast platter of mint leaves and nems,
But without you, such temptations I’d just ignore.

You may say I am crazy to turn down these thrills,
You may say that my reason is showing some taint
But I tell you that hell can have heavenly frills,
And if heaven’s without you, then heaven it ain’t.
