You are on my mind when I go to bed Before I open my eyes, thoughts of you enter my head. I ask myself, when, can I stop loving you? When the sky is green and the grass is blue Then I can stop loving you When the moon no longer lights the night And the stars stop shining so bright When hurricanes are only a breeze And, tornadoes are no more than a sneeze When raindrops are dry And clouds stand still in the sky When birds no longer sing in the trees And the sweetness of flowers no longer attract the bees. When there is no need for time And all “mankind” is just “one kind” When men can fly and cars are obsolete And passengers can buy round trip tickets to eternity When the doors to Heaven open for public tours And choir voices are angelically pure When all men live by faith and not by sight And no one cares who is wrong or right When war is only historical And, Peace is eternal Then, I can stop loving you Reprinted with permission Copyright © 2009 by Sherry Wright
