Text: Hayes Carll. Perfect Lover.

I could be the perfect lover if you let me
I could be the only thing you?ve ever known
I could scream out all your lonely heart?s desires
I could hold all your life?s pain inside my own

I could bring the clouds for you to walk among them
I could raise the seas for them to know your grace
I could teach the Gods of all your Autumn?s glory
I could bring the Summer stars to know your face

But if I come again and only as a friend
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin? out
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
To ever be lonely again

I been locked up here with all these lonesome questions
I need a new word just to whisper in your ear
Baby right now I am open to suggestions
I?m gonna tell you all the things you need to hear

There?s a mirror in my room with no reflection
There?s a table where your friends have gathered ?round
There?s a doorway that my heart could never walkthrough
There?s a graveyard full of times I let you down

But if I come again and only as a friend
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin? out
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
To ever be lonely again
