If I were blind, I’d have to feel my love

If I were blind, I’d have to feel my love
Your face, your skin, your body, all  so warm
I’d whisper in your ear like a small dove

I’d sniff you everywhere  and touch ungloved
Your arms, your legs, your chest, and bring you calm
If I were blind, I’d have to feel my love

And even all of that is  not enough
I’d want to dance with you, wrapped in your arms
I’d whisper in your ear like a small dove

Close your eyes and  go to sleep, I’ll prove
That I can caress you  with my sweet  balm
If I were blind, I’d have to feel my love

And you could caress me too if that were good.
We must enjoy the plenitude in turn
I’d whisper in your ear like a small dove.

Oh.would that God would  aid my  fierce  distress
As with  my fear, I lie low  in the dust
If I were blind, I’d have to feel my way
But were it God, I’d not know what to say
