If Only

Oh please forgive me, such idle repetition

But I am not stirred by this competition

Too soft to be unmoved

But enough is enough to have the power to do whatever I choose

Anything on offer is forbidden

Oh, I disgust myself, I'm too all-forgiving

What's enjoyment, what is perfection?

When you lose sight of yourself

In your failing powers of recollection?

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Oh, so why is it essential

To be calm and collected?

We all have  crosses to bear

But do we all have to be resurrected?

Yes I'm sure and I try to believe

But still I want more than you would give to me

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Tomorrow's just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together, whatever, however, forever

Together, whatever, however, forever

Forever, forever, forever and ever
