If I could have a second one it would be you, my love
No fleeting passion but earthbound feelings have I
In true heart I could hold you and hold her, sort of.
You'll never be my princess, but let me kiss your glove
Hear me lament the rules with which I must comply
If I could have a second one it would be you, my love
But of all the flowers of life I cherish her above
Each hard day with her expects sweet night
In true heart I could hold her and hold you, sort of.
Not holy vows of forever I could blankly get rid of
nor is my heart large and good enough to divide
but If I could have a second one it would be you my love
Deep my affections, true my feelings for you, white dove
Of spirit and flesh alike burns my desire
In true heart I could hold you and hold her, sort of.
That if I could choose I would choose her, I'm sure of
enchanted as I am by your bone and breast under blue sky
If I could have a second one it would be you, my love
In true heart I could hold you and hold her, sort of.
