a little more positive this time... starting off into the bittersweet phase...

What I Wouldn't Do

If we were children I would bake you a mud pie
Warm and brown beneath the sun
Never learned to climb a tree but I would try
Just to show you what I'd done

Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe I had you
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe

If I were old my dearest you would be older
But I would crawl upon your lap
Wrap a blanket `round our frail little shoulders
And I'd die happily like that

Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe I had you
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe I had you

So lace your hands `round the small of my back and I will kiss you like a king
I will be your bride I'll keep you warm at night
I will sing I will sing

It was now and we were both in the same place
Didn't know how to say the words
With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage
I left before someone got hurt

It's what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe I had you
It's what I wouldn't do
If I had you babe if I had you
