Could You

Could you give me your patience

Could you give me your patience
When you run out of time?
Could you give me your freedom
And let me keep mine?

Could you paint me a picture
When your mind draws a blank?
Could you give me your word
Without any thanks?

Could you give understanding
When you feel confused?
Could you give unconditionally
Without feeling used?

Could you pick me a rose
Without any thorns?
Could you lend me your ear
Without any scorn?

Could you lend me a hand
When your arms are so full?
Could you give all your heart
If it’s broken in two?

Could you give me your happiness
Without any sorrow?
Could you give me a lifetime
Knowing you’ll die tomorrow?

If you could do all of this
Without feeling regret,
Then I’ll give you my life
And I won’t take it back...
