When your hope was without end
Your smile could light the sky
Your love never ran dry

I wish I knew you when
Passion put your thoughts to pen
Ink ran free, exploring edges
Of wilderness ne'er seen

I'd dream to hold the hand
This wishful young woman 
Full of wisdom and insight 
Not anticipating ache

Even more than this
I long to hold the kiss
And the gaze that beheld
A life lived wild and free

Yes, more than any thing
A sunny coast retreat 
A quick retirement
Just me and the breeze

Yes, more than this
I just wish I knew you now
