"If"

"If"


Ow!!
Yeah ...
Yeah
Home grown, on the bone
All the channels show the
same old war zone
As I walk alone in the city
Makin' me an offer, now
don't they look pretty
New cinema
Live action, all the
noise of attraction
beats up
On the streets, the
sellers do mark up
Better than tellin' em
off, don't stock up
Shark, they don't bite
All that matters is
you're not here tonight
And now that I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole
ten feet under
Under sea, under you,
under we, undivided,
Undecided

[Chorus:]
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
to make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you make you love me
to make you make you love me
Up north where the
snow grows colder
I travel onward 'cross the border

Looked up a girl that I
once knew frozen
I found that I was chosen
To be the follower of the deity
Make myself scarce while they
come to plea bargain
for my body and soul
All the flames go
around, surround me
I won't go

I need the ozone
I wanna cuddle up
behind your backbone
I never stay long
where I'm not wanted
I fell haunted
Yo brother
Where ya gonna go
Back to the warzone
To break down the walls

[Chorus:]
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
to make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you make you love me
to make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you happy
to make you make you happy

If only I knew what I
should do, yeah
To make you make you love me
I bared my soul to
the golden traces
went to the forest of
the holy places
And now I wonder
Am I gonna dig a hole
ten feet under
Under sea, under me,
under you, under we,
undivided,
Undecided
Yeah ... yeah
[vocal breakdown]
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you happy
to make you make you happy
If I only knew
What I should do
To make you make you happy
to make you make you happy
If I only knew
What I could do
To make you, make you love me
to make you make you love me
If I only knew
What I should do
To make you make you love me
If I only knew what I should do
If I only knew what I should do

"If Ever I Would Leave You"

"If Ever I Would Leave You"


If ever I should leave you, it wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer, I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight, your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn, I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there

And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow

If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall
No never could I leave you at all

"If He Should Ever Leave You"

"If He Should Ever Leave You"


Your captivating eyes
The clever way they smile stops him in his tracks
And add your pretty face you keep him in his place
He'd do anything you ask

They've broken the mold
More precious than gold
When you're standing there the world disappears

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

Careful what you do he's so in love with you,
You might tear him apart
To watch the way you move,
It's obvious that you were made for breaking hearts
The pout of your lips, those soft fingertips
The curve of your waist, you're perfectly made

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever

It would be a crime to ever let you go
He should be inclined to keep you very close
No one else compares you're a cut above the rest
He'd be such a fool if he should ever leave you

Your captivating eyes
The subtle way you smile
Sets him in a spin
The subtle way you smile

"If I Ever Had To Say Goodbye To You"

"If I Ever Had To Say Goodbye To You"


If I ever had to say
good bye to you
Let the world come to an end
it wouldn't matter to me then
I wouldn't want to live
with just your memory
Deep inside myself
I never would be free
This life would hold no
happiness for me

I could never say hello
to someone new
If I looked into her eyes
I'd be ashamed and I
despise myself for trying
to recapture what was gone
Just an imitation dream
to wish upon
I'd only hurt her
and that kind of love
is wrong

If I ever had to say good bye to you
I can't imagine where I go
or what I'll do
There is no way I could face
the world alone
I'd be a puppy dog scared
and lost without a home

So please stay with me
until our time is through
Let me look into your heart
and know that we can
never part and I will
always try to make you
happy too
And the tears I shed
are for a love that's true

You make me laugh,
you make me cry
You make me want to live or die
Just let me look into
your heart
I know that we can never part
Then I'll never have to say
good bye to you

"If I Give Me Soul"

"If I Give Me Soul"


Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand

I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
I had a steady job, til I started into drinking
And I started making music that went with the devil's band

Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again

If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes I'm wearin'
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity

If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

"If I Promise"

"If I Promise"


If I got on my knees and come crawlin' to you little girl
Would you love me once again
Cause I'll do anything to prove that I love you still
And that I'm sorry for the fool I've been
Haven't slept in a month of Sundays and I know one day I'm a gonna lose my sanity
Can't stop dreamin' about you and life without you just don't mean a thing to me
So if I promise to be a good boy and never hurt you anymore
Could things be like they were before
If I promise to be a good boy and be the way you want me to
Could I still have a chance with you

Cause I don't know what made me fool enough to think
That I could live without your love
I must have cried a million tears since our goodbye
Yes and misery fits me like a glove
So if I promise to be a good boy...

"If I Ruled The World"

"If I Ruled The World"


If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of Spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world
Every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon when the moon beams

If I ruled the world
Every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world

Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

"If You Go Away"

"If You Go Away"


If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away;
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
When the day was young and the night was long,
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.
Then if you go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you,
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slowly till the next hello,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again.
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.
But if you go, go, I won't cry,
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

"If You Need Me"

"If You Need Me"


If you need me, I want you to call me
I said, if you need me, need me
All you got to do is call me

Don't wait too long
If things go wrong
I'll be home, home

If you want me, send for me
I said if you want me, want me
All you got to do is send for me

Don't wait too long
Just pick up your phone
And I'll be home where I belong

People always said, darling
That I didn't mean you no good
That you would leave me someday
But way deep down in my heart
I know, I've got the best I could

And I know it won't be long
One of these days I'm gonna come
Walking through that door
And I can imagine in my mind
That these are the words you will be singing

I still love you
Always thinking of you
Yes, I still love you, I love you
Always thinking of you

Don't wait too long
I gotta, gotta pick up your phone
And I'll be home where I belong

"In Dreams"

"In Dreams"


A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is all right"

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

Too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams.
