lyrics

The Beggar

If I were a beggar
You would be a beggar’s wife
Even though our little kingdom
Wouldn’t be more
Than bread and knife

If I were a singer
The one that never hits a tone
You would be my only fan
I’d sing of feelings that before
I’d never known

If I were a poet
And my words would hardly rhyme
You would be the little sonnet
That appeared
Suddenly in my mind

Oh, if I were just me
And you were just you
We would be lying together
In a love as sweet as true

If I were a doctor
That rarely came back home
You would be staying awake
Until the ringing
Of the phone

If I were a patient
For whom there will be no wonder
You would be my dear last friend
That stayed until
I’m over yonder

If I were just me
And you were just you
We would be together
In a love as sweet as true

Don’t know where we’re heading
Don’t have a clue where we will be
But I know I am dear holding
Every You
That’s here for me

And I never met
Anyone as true
And I guess I never will
Meet anybody more to me
Than darling, you

If I were just me
And you were just you
We would be together
In a love as sweet as true

And even when
All roses (should) fade
I would hold you in my arms
Until the end
Of time and date
