Your claim on me is infinite
Which I gladly accept
Yet my claim on you
May be questioned by the rest

For there are others to share you with
Your father for instance
Or your husband or boyfriend
Or your countless friends

What I would give
To return to those days just for once
If not for real, then in my make believe world
Taking me back to my trance

When everyone else was busy
And you clung on to me
Finding shelter and comfort
My arms ever extended to thee

That was a time
When the pleasure was all mine
To give myself totally
To that feeling sublime

This joy of surrender
Can never ever be equalled
With anything I have ever received
From anyone in this world
