You and I

I think that I could grab that star,
Imagination fingers far,
Could reach up further in the sky,
To pull it here for you and I.

Determination will endow,
My soul to reach the moon some how,
If I but had it you would sigh,
We’d be together you and I.

If I could swim the ocean deep,
To treasure’d pearl for you to keep,
I think I’d be that special guy,
For life you’d sing it’s you and I.

I’d walk to distant mountain top,
And back again; I would not stop-
Until your face was oh so nigh,
We’d hold so close this you and I.

From ocean depth to star above,
And further still the reach of love,
Will capture us and never die,
Now and forever you and I.
