If He Wanted To
Blossoming Love: Julia DiGrazia's Melodic Tale of Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
If he wanted to, he would
If he desired to, he possesses the capability
He'd buy me yellow flowers
He would gift me yellow flowers
Lay his head down on my chest
He'd rest his head on my chest
and stay there for hours
Remaining in that position for extended periods
If he wanted to, he would
If his inclination directed him
He'd carve our names in that old pine
He'd engrave our names on an aged pine
Where we'd dance and drink wine
Where we'd engage in dancing and wine-drinking
Till the sun comes up
Until the sunrise
And though we didn't even speak
Even without verbal communication
In our hearts we both knew
Both our hearts understood
Watching it rise across the creek
Observing the sunrise over the creek
If I'd known what I know now I'd have seen it too.
If I had possessed current knowledge, I would have perceived it
If he wanted to, he would
If his desire led him
He'd buy me yellow flowers
He would present me with yellow flowers
Lay his head down on my chest
Resting his head on my chest for an extended duration
and stay there for hours
Remaining in that position for hours
If he wanted to, he would
If his inclination directed him
He'd carve our names in that old pine
He'd inscribe our names on an aged pine
Where we'd dance and drink wine
Where we'd engage in dancing and wine-drinking
Till the sun comes up
Until the sunrise
If he wanted to, he would
If his inclination directed him
He'd never leave me in the rain
He would never abandon me in unfavorable conditions
Instead, he'd rescue me
Instead, he'd come to my rescue
and make me feel safe
Making me feel secure
If he wanted to, he would
If his inclination directed him
He'd get down on one knee
He'd kneel down on one knee
And he'd make the world feel like
Making the world revolve around the sense of being the only one
It was only me
If his inclination directed him
If he wanted to, he would
He would present me with yellow flowers
He'd buy me yellow flowers
Restating the gesture of gifting yellow flowers
