If I Were You

(album: Nashville - 1991)

If I were you
I would stumble through the darkness
To the phone
And call me up and see
If I'm alone
And ask me if I need some company

If I were you
I would crawl a hundred miles
On hands and knees
Just to hear you say
You're coming back to me
And that things would be the way
They used to be
If only
I were you

In everybody's life
There is wrong and there's right
A time when love begins
And when love dies

And sometimes only a miracle
Can heal what can not heal
Or change the way we feel
Oh, I could change the way you're feeling
About me

If I were you
I would say that this was all
The crazy dream
And when I woke up
You'll be lying here with me
And I would swear to you
That I would never leave
That's how it'd be
If I were you

Sometimes only a miracle
Can heal what can not heal
Or change the way we feel
Oh, I could change the way you're feeling
About me

If I were you
I would tell the one I'm with
I've changed my mind
And life with me
Deserves another try
And that things would be the way
They used to be
If only
I were you

And I would swear to you
That I would never leave
If I were you
