If we were children I would bake you a mud pieWarm and brown beneath the sunNever learned to climb a tree but I would tryJust to show you what I’d doneOh what I wouldn’t doIf I had you, babe, I had youOh what I wouldn’t doIf I had you, babeIf I were old, my dearest, you would be olderBut I would crawl upon your lapWrap a blanket âround our frail little shouldersAnd I’d die happily like thatSo lace your hands âround the small of my backand I will kiss you like a kingI will be your bride, I’ll keep you warm at nightI will sing, I will singIt was now and we were both in the same placeDidn’t know how to say the wordsWith my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcageI left before someone got hurt
