If only

If only
If only
I could speak to time
I’m sure she would listen
to my pleading

If only
If only
I could show her my thoughts
I know she would
stop her speeding.

If only
If only
I could wear her down
stubborn though she may be
How popular she could be,

If only
If only
for a moment in time;
If only
If only
She waited for me.
