If I Could

(álbum: …ish - 1988)

If I could paint
I'd paint a portrait of you
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
And a single tear like a silent prayer
That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever dared
If I could do anything at all
I'd do it for you

If I could write
I'd write a book for you
A tale of hidden treasures with an I owe you
And a million words wouldn't say a thing
That won't be said in three words
Where love's the central theme
If I could do anything at all
I'd do it for you

Darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do
I'd do it for you

Sometimes I feel so second-rate
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake
I know I'm insecure
And love don't keep score
But I wish I could give you more

If I could play
I'd play up a storm for you
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
And maybe for a moment I could be your favorite star
If I could do anything at all
If I could, I'd give you more
If I could do anything at all
I'd do it for you

And darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling can't you see
You mean the world to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you

And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do I'll do it
Do it for you
I'll do it
Do it for you
