If I Could

If I could play the guitar, I would write you twelve love songs

One for each time you made me cry today.

If I knew how to cook, I'd bake you a hundred cakes

One for each "I love you" that I couldn't say.

If I could write much better I would write you eighteen volumes

For the nights I cried so hard I couldn't see. 

If I could dance at all I would dance you ninety ballets

One for each hour you could've spent with me.

If I could paint like Da Vinci I would fill up a museum

Of the fires that you’ve started and the raindrops you made fall

But if I could count the moments that I’ve been in love with you

Then I wouldn’t try to count them at all.
