Parallel Life

In my parallel life I would be a painter

Color and light would be all I see

In my parallel life I'd live in the mountains

And spend all my summers down by the sea

In my parallel life I would take up dancing

I'd be so graceful out on the floor

In my parallel life I'd do all these things and more - for sure

'Cause in my parallel life

I can reach for the stars

I can be what I want

I can be where you are

In my parallel life I could pick the phone up

I'd make you laugh with my repartee

In my parallel life I would have the courage

But I just don't know what to say

But parallel lines never meet

So there I was walking down your street

I rang your bell but I ran away

In my parallel life I could solve this mystery

Like Agatha Christie I'd have a clue

In my parallel life I would act exactly like someone who knows what to do
