Could It Be?
by Herb Arnold

Memories of fears
Memories of pain
Memories of lost lives
Never to be found again.

Am I the light?
Could it actually be
That one such as you
Could love such as me?

Past lives
Interrupt us
Present woes
Deflect us
Inner turmoils
Bring their own
Brand of
Boils

No matter how hard
I try as i might
It's hard to believe
That I am that light.

One thing is certain
One thing is true:
I know that I bask
In the light that is you!

When I tell you "I love you"
The smile on your face
should run all of my fears
Right out of the place.

But, baby, I'm human,
Not the Goddess you are
I have fears of rejection
And, at night, I wish upon a star

I wish I may
I wish I might
Let Angela love
Just one more night.

When the morning sun breaks
Over the land in the East
I step up to the table
And hope to partake of the feast

The feast that is Angela
Is the feast of this part,
For she nourishes me deeply
To my soul through my heart

With each morning I pray
"Let it last one more day,
Let me bask in the light"
What more can I say

What if, one morning,
The table lay bare?
The feast is all gone
Like the end of the fair.

That's my Woodworm, sweet girl
That you'd suddenly find
You'd made a mistake
That you'd lost your mind.

You and I at some times
Are the Beauty and the Beast
They had a happy ending
So could we, at the least!

Let me tell you something
That no one else knows
I'm afraid late at night
Right down to my toes

Afraid that at sunrise
You won't be around
That's what the woodworms
Tell me without making a sound.
