What if

---

This song was one of many written around 2000, before marriage and children and before learning who I really was. While most of my originals were dark and soulfully tragic, there were a few moments of more positive inspiration! This particular song, though written years before we started dating, was very much written for @guntotnhippie, even if I didn't know it at the time. It's a rare moment of light during some very tumultuous years.

I was singing with some great musicians and had access to some recording time. While none of my songs were ready to be recorded for producing, I wanted to get what I did have recorded so that I could listen to it and get a different perspective. I literally recorded 18 pieces, back-to-back with only one re-do in about 90 minutes, so it really was intended for my ears only. Now, after listening to some great musicians through Steemit and Dsound (@nathankaye, @dantanner, @melissakellie, @coruscate) I've been inspired to share my unfinished pieces. Although they're not polished, they do tell a story of where I once was and the passion for music that is still flickering within.

What if

What if I told you I’d wait several lifetimes for you?
What if I told you I think that I already have?
Would you blow me off or laugh at me,
Shake your head and belittle me,
Or look in my eyes and tell me you’re my man?

What if I told you that I’d never been so enchanted?
That the stars outside never shined with such vigor or light?
Would you tell me it’s the season,
Or give scientific reason,
Or smile and hold me oh so tight?

If I’d lost my faith in romance
Through you it’s been restored
And I won’t be scared to answer
When love knocks at my door.

What if I told you your eyes they see right through me?
That the sound of your voice makes me feel so giddy within.
Would you smile, take my hand, tell me how you understand
Then carry me off with a love that will never end.

I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!

Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!
