When I'm With You
© copyright 1996, John L. Batzer, Jr.
Do you know how it feels to walk through the clouds,
Looking down on everybody -
Dancing and singing out of pure joy?
Have you ever had all of your problems whisked away in the wind,
Like an abondonded autumn leaf -
Flying lightheartedly through the air?
Did you ever have a smile stuck on your face,
When trying to wipe it off
Would do no good?
Have you ever gotten lost,
Being totally lost to the outside world
For hours on end?
Did you ever awaken from a good night's sleep
And look forward to the upcoming day,
Knowing that it would go well?
I know all of these feelings -
I feel them each and every time
I think of you.
