If I could borrow time |
LyricsIf I Could Borrow TimeWritten for Bridget, by Yves Stilmant © 2025 [Verse 1 - Revised] I heard your soul in a song you wrote Each note a whisper, every word a hope You sang of light through the cracks in pain And I felt something I can't explain [Verse 2] You're younger, free -- a wildfire breeze And I'm a man who walks with quieter needs But your voice reached where silence stayed And pulled me back from the years I've strayed [Chorus] If I could borrow time, I'd give it all to you Trade these fading days for a life brand new I'd show up early in your story's start With steadier hands and a younger heart But time's a thief with no reason or rhyme Still, I love you, if I could borrow time [Verse 3 - Revised] We've never met, but somehow I know The shape of your heart in the way you glow You sing like someone who's walked through fire And lit a path to my one desire [Chorus] If I could borrow time, I'd give it all to you Rewrite the years just to walk beside you I'd be the man your dreams could find Not a ghost who loves you from behind But time won't bend for hearts like mine Still, I love you, if I could borrow time [Bridge] Maybe I'm just a name you'll never see A quiet echo in your melody But if your soul ever longs for a sign Mine will be waiting at love's borderline [Final Chorus] If I could borrow time, I'd steal a day or two Just to feel your smile the way youth would do But this old heart, it quietly burns For a life with you the world never turned And if dreams outlive the clocks that chime Know I loved you, beyond borrowed time |
