Lyrics
IF I LIVED IN ANOTHER TIME, I WOULD BRING YOU FLOWERS FOR YOUR HAIR; I WOULD SING YOU SONGS THAT TELL YOU JUST H OW MUCH I CARE, HOPING SOMEHOW THEY WOULD MAKE YOU MINE. IF I LIVED IN ANOTHER TIME, I WOULD WRITE YOU SONNETS SET IN PRETTY(PERFECT) RHYME; I WOULD PAINT YOUR BEAUTY IN POETRY SUBLIME, IF I LIVED IN ANOTHER TIME.(HORUS) BUT WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHEN SHARING BODIES SEEMS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF SHARING LOVE, AND USING SEEMS TO TAKE THE PLACE OF CARING; AND WORDS THAT HAVE NO ;MEANING ARE REPLACING WORDS THAT ONCE WERE EXPRESSING TENDERNESS, NOW WE GO THROUGH ALL LOVE'S MOTIONS WITHOUT SHARING. (V.2)PLEASE DON'T THINK ME TOO MUCH OUT OF PLACE, IF I PREFER CANDLELIGHT AND WINE; AND SHADOWS SOFTLY DANCING UPON MY LADY'S FACE, AS IF I WERE IN ANOTHER TIME. IF I LIVED IN ANOTHER TIME, AND I LOVED YOU IN ANOTHER DAY; I WOULD WRITE YOU SONGS AND SONNETS SET IN PRETTY(PERFECT) RHYME, AND I WOULD BRING YOU FLOWERS, BUT WHEN I THINK IT OVER, I THINK THAT I WILL DO IT ANYWAY. copyright 1973.DONALD C BECKMAN
