Count

Rothya James

I count the ways I love you
my fears I count those too
I count our moments of rhyme
our time in time
our mind to mind
I count on you
I count the women I’ve known
all the stones and moans
love and lays
and many ways
I love a woman true
in this I count you too
I count the bread I break
the stake I stake
the cake I bake
with you
I count all this
never have I counted bliss
young woman in the way
I love you this day

Wish I had a nickle for all I've never done I'd rake up the money and give it to a fund Wish I had a dime for all the things I did I'd take that money show people how to live Wish I had paradise at the drop of a hat Wish I hit life's curveballs with a gold plated bat Wish I had the good times and none of the blues Wish the world was all good friends and everything was cool Wish I had a tight squeeze to leave the porch light on Wish I'd see that smile of yours each morning with the dawn Wish I had a real wish a wish that could come true The wish to wish one wish and I'd wish that wish for you © Rothya James
