My Love Is Not Enough To Have You

I think I could love you,
No, I know I could... I could, indeed.
There is no doubt in my mind, baby;
I think we hold the keys to each others' hearts.
Your sweetness defies belief, you see,
The definition of the sublime.
But there is the distance
Between you and me and my little black box,
And inside, I cry, knowing it may be true,
Knowing my love is not enough to have you.

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach
The first time I talked to you.
You may think it's skin deep,
And you may think it's all desires of the flesh,
But inside my soul, I know it be true,
And that is how I love you.
But there again is the distance
Between you and me and my little black box,
And inside, I cry, knowing it probably true
That my love is not enough to have you.

There are many miles between us, dear,
But there are equally as many smiles between us both.
I think it would be more than something physical.
You treat me kind, and I try to reciprocate
The best that I know how,
Because I hold out hope that there is a chance for us.
But there again, we have the damn distance
Between you and me and my little black box,
So I guess I might as well resign myself to cry,
For my love is not enough to have you.
