I wish that I had kissed you ten more times
I didn’t know how soon you had to leave
I’d draw upon your lips my best design
I tell my love in words, which is no crime.
I didn’t show you all you might receive
I wish that I had kissed you ten more times
If I had bought you bottles of best wine
Would you have stayed and kept me unbereaved?
I’d draw upon your lips my best design.
I know you were perceptive and read signs
Eyes a-crinkle green as sun washed leaves
I wish that I had kissed you ten more times
I’d hold your mind and weave your thoughts to rhymes
Until the truest love poem arrived
I’d draw upon your lips my best design.
I’d write you letters ,much love I would leave
With my mind and body I perceive.
I wish that I had kissed you ten more times
I’d draw upon your lips our own design
