I wanted to write a poem so light br You would float up high in the sky br I wanted to write a poem so tight br You would wonder at its rhythm and rhyme br I wanted to write a poem so right br You would know without doubt what I say br I wanted to write that poem tonight br And not wait or debate for an hour or a day br I wanted to say all that I might br With a skip and smile and a touch that delights br Whatever you’re feeling as you put out the lights br And say goodbye to the day.
