Somebody Else

How I wish just to hold your hand,
Feel its touch so I can know it again.
The way life used to be,
Before the pain of loss...
Really should I say it as you are,
All my heart really desired.

Your voice with its subtle tones,
Your hair as beautiful as the sun—
Accenting your eyes to me
In the blues that it has...

How much I wished to be someone else,
Hold you and know you,
Oh, how I wished it so.
Such a loss in your heart
Among the jewels in your eyes
I could not find my way to say
How much I wanted to change.
Just to have you by my side,
With my hand in yours
And my lips holding yours so much closer.
