I Wish I Could Be
I wish I could be your shoes
so I could travel with you
and comfort your precious feet
which are ever so sweet
I wish I could be your hair
so I could travel with you everywhere
and help enhance the beauty that you share
for you and I would make a perfect pair
and I would be with your beautiful face
with your every move, with you every single place
then I'd be able to cover your scars-without leaving a trace
I wish I could be your nails
So I could help you remove price tags from sales
and I could eliminate that nasty itch
that always seems to make you twitch
I wish I could be your teeth
So I could help express your feelings-that come from beneath
that express your heart-which isn't completely exposed
then I'd have no choice but to impose
on helping you speak
when talking to the doctors, when you feel weak
I'd constantly be by your beautiful voice
and I'd be able to help you express your every choice
I wish I could be your computer
So I could be touched by your blessed hand
oh how that would be so grand
I wish I could be your pencil
because your every word is perfect-as if you used a stencil
what can you expect from someone as peaceful as a dove?
-for that is something that I wish to be a part of
I wish I could be your umbrella
I'd be there for you-like the fairy Godmother in Cinderella
I could give you shelter from the hailing water
and give you shelter when no one else would bother
I wish I could be your pillow
So I could comfort your beautiful head
and I'd be able to help you relax-along with your bed
and I'd be right next to you when you sleep
to wake you when your nightmares run too deep
I wish I could be your car
So I could take you places-both near and far
I wish I could be your diary
So we could share secrets-which are ever so fiary
I wish I could be your watch
so I could adjust to you-anytime with the move of a notch
and I'd be on your blessed wrist
which is ever so graceful when you give it a twist
and I'd be on the top of your "don't forget me list"
I wish I could be your food
So I could nourish you when times get too crude
I wish I could be only one thing-your man
So I could treat you the best that I can
