Denial

I truly want you to be happy - I know you have to make a choice

But as you cradle her in your arms, do you ever see my face

Do you ever see my eyes, smell me, touch me, hear my voice

Am I ever there with you, for an instant in her place

I would trade the sunshine and the rain, the summer and the fall

I would trade all that I have, and all that I am in this life

I would bring you laughter, excitement, love, we'd live it all

If I could sleep beside you darling, if I could be your wife

So tell me truly, don't spare my feelings or worry about my tears

As you cradle her in your arms, do you ever see my face

Do you ever wonder, if only for a fleeting moment my love

How life might be, if you had chosen me to fill that place
