I'D BE A SONGWRITER

I'D BE A HERO JUST IN TIME TO SAVE THE DAY

MY NAME ALONE WOULD TAKE A DRAGONS BREATH AWAY

AND WHEN THE SHADOWS CREEP ACROSS YOUR BEDROOM FLOOR

I'D SIT WITH YOU AND KEEP THE DEMONS FROM THE DOOR

AND WHEN YOU SLEEP I'D KEEP THEM FROM YOUR DOOR.

I'D BE A CIRCUS CLOWN IF I COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH

I'D TURN AND TUMBLE LIKE A CHINESE ACROBAT

AND EVERY NIGHT I'D WATCH THE CROWD TO SEE YOU SMILE

TO KNOW THAT I HAD YOUR ATTENTION FOR WAIL

AND EVERY NIGHT I'D TRY TO MAKE YOU SMILE

I'D BE A SONGWRITER WITH DREAMS ENOUGH FOR TWO

YOU'D BE MY MELODY SO SOFTAND BRIGHT AND NEW

AND IF THE RHYME WON'T SIT, THE LINE WON'T FIT THE SONG

I'D THINK OF YOU AND THEN THE WORDS WOULD FOLLOW ON

AND EVERY RHYME AND LINE WOULD FOLLOW ON

CHORUS:

OPEN UP THE STORY BOOK AND READ FROM ANY PAGE

MY EYES ARE ON YOU LOOKING OUT FROM EVERY FACE

I'M THERE TO TURN TO ANYTIME YOU NEED A FRIEND

FROM "ONCE UPON A TIME" UNTIL "THE END"

Words; Paul Foskin
