What If

(album: Thelma Houston - 1972)

Hope is coming down on my soul, hit right between my eyes
Said lose the dreams of my future, held back by the tears of pride

A change is walking into my life
Right in step next to my man, ooh

After all the hell that I've been through
I finally see what God has planned

What if that woman hadn't stepped on your heart
And given you love instead of misery, ooh
And what if he had given more thought and made it easier
Easier on me

If it's been left in my hands, then I wouldn't be in yours
Anybody, God, open the window, everybody slammed the door

Hope is coming down on my soul, hit right between my eyes
Said lose the dreams of my future, held back by the tears of pride

What if that woman hadn't stepped on your heart
And what if she'd given you love instead of misery, ooh
And what if he had given more thought, and made it easier
Easier on me

What if he had given more thought, and made it easier
Easier on me
