I didn’t see the moon in a pearly hue. The ocean’s waves weren't a deep azure blue. If the meadows didn’t sing a soft gentle tune. In a pearly hue I didn’t see the moon. Would you still love me? Floodlights don’t shine brightly as I glimpse the starry night. Waterfalls don’t cascade in a rainbow of colored light. If the warm summer rain didn’t fall so lightly. As I glimpse the starry night, floodlights don’t shine brightly. Would you still love me? Fairies don’t dance with gossamer wings. No wind through the whippoorwill sadly sings. Eagles gliding high to mountain tops have no chance. With gossamer wings fairies don’t dance. Would you still love me? If all I needed was you, not the air that I breathe and love. If my dreams didn’t bring me to you on fluffy clouds above. If the sky wasn’t sprinkled with glitter and cupid hearts too. Not the air that I breathe and love, if all I needed was you. Would you still love me? If I ceased to be able to rhyme, I could not write. If eagles didn’t soar and doves didn’t take flight. If I was no longer a poet til the end of time. I could not write, if I ceased to be able to rhyme. Would you still love me?
