John Emmett Anderson - IF

If I had it to do
all over again
To rebuild my life
and rework its end

If I knew then
what I know now
Would my life be different?
And if so; how?

Would I do my best
To stay away from the girls
Who can steal your heart
With a blush and a twirl?

Would I do my best
To study hard in school?
Wearing a diploma
hiding a fool

But the girl whose kiss
Is like a glass of wine
The one whose hug
Leaves you frozen in time

I'd never having
ever owned
the kaleidoscope of life
I've known

And knowing where
I'd never be
without ever having tasted
Life's majesty
