…the veil of illusion
Moving beyond past conclusions
Rendering all doubt and confusion clear
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere
If I…
…are made to throw away but never made to disappear
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere in time
I would want…
And we won't make it 'less we're smarter and stronger
The world's going to shake itself free of our greed somehow
If I could be anywhere
If I…
…and run
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time…
…intentions
Venus wants her frown and can not kiss me
So I sympathize with the dark side of the moon inside you
But...
If I could be…
…your parallel
If I could be your one way out
If I could be your vision now
If I could be your star
If I could be a brighter light…
If I could comfort you at night
If I could be your star...
If I could be your star
Must I be those rings that surround you
Can I send…
…love you like a three-day weekend
And we can have dessert first
[Chorus]
If I could be a feeling, I'd wanna…
…be the one
That finally found his love
Comes on easy, just like breathin'
Yeah, that's a feeling
I'd give anything
If I could be
[Verse 2…
…sign
If I could be a song
I'd be "Outgreen" spinnin' on a thirty-three
Happy as a song could ever be with you singin' along…
…the veil of illusion
Moving beyond past conclusions
Rendering all doubt and confusion clear
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere
If I…
…are made to throw away but never made to disappear
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere in time
I would want…
And we won't make it 'less we're smarter and stronger
The world's going to shake itself free of our greed somehow
If I could be anywhere
If I…
And nothing from outside
Will bring me to glory
Not all the world's books on my shelf
But if I could be the pope
I'd show you…
…the way
All regrets and fears I'd pray away
If I could be the pope
I'd need no dope
For I'd be providing the best stuff called hope
If I…
…the fears
And regrets and I would be
Always missing a piece
But if I could be the pope
I'd show you the way
All regrets and fears I'd pray away
If I could be the pope
I'd…
…If I could be there
I'd be there tonight comforting you
This road I'm on is so far away, too far away
If God would grant me wings…
…to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there
I'd be there tonight comforting you
If I could be there
I'd look…
…be in your arms by and by
If I could be there
I'd look in your eyes and say I love you
If I could be there
I wouldn't have…
…If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you
This road I'm on is so far away
Too far away
If God would grant me wings…
…to fly
I'd be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you
If I could be there I'd look…
…be in your arms by and by
If I could be there I'd look in your eyes and say I love you
If I could be there I wouldn't have…
I wish I were a performer
And you were my fan
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could…
…(I'd be drop-dead gorgeous)
That you couldn't stand (That you couldn't stand)
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero…
…fan
If I could be your hero (If I could be your hero)
You could be my man (You could be my man)
'Cause I know you don't love me…
…( one hour tonight )
If I could be with you, I'd love you strong,
If I could be with you, I'd love ya long,
. . . want ya…
…to know, I wouldn't go,
Until I told ya honey why I love ya so!
If I could be with you, one hour tonight…
…
If I was free to do the things that I might,
I'm tellin' ya true, I'd be anythin' but blue,
If I could be with you, for just an hour,
If I could be…
…[Chorus]
Can I sleep with you tonight?
If I could be with you
Girl to be with you for the night
If I could be with you
Can I…
…sleep with you tonight?
If I could be with you
Girl to be with you for the night
If I could be with you
[Bridge]
You don't have…
…tonight? If I could be with you Girl to be with you for the night If I could be with you Can I sleep with you tonight? If I could be with you Girl to be with you for the night If I could be with…
Just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me
And he says
If I could be like that
Well I would give anything…
Just to live one day
In those shoes
If I could be like that
What would I do?
What would I do?
Now in dreams we run
She spends…
…is just that something to hold on to
That's all she needs
If I could be like that
Well I would give anything
Just to live one day in
In those shoes
If I could be…
If I just watch you I could be like...
Youuuu ~
Love, love, love, like
Youuuu ~
Love... If I could be like you
You took me out…
If I just watch you I could be like...
Youuuu ~
Love, love, love, like
Youuuu ~
Love... If I could be like you
If I could be…
…like you
You don't seem to flinch, my friend
Take another hit of your medicine
Everything I see is sinking in
Of you
If I could be…
…If I could be with you one hour tonight
And I was free to do the things I might
I want you to know I wouldn't go
Until I told you…
…baby that I love you so
If I could be with you I'd love you long
Just to be with you I'd love you all night long
I'm telling you…
…true that you'd never be blue
If I could be with you for one hour
If I could be with you
Now if I could be with you one hour…
…a drink
And sittin there just watchin you
I couldn't help but think
If I could be you
I'd take your place
For an hour, for a day
I could do anything…
I wanted to
If I could have your perfect life
In a second I'd trade mine
There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do
If I could be…
…when I held your hand the day the baby came
How that whole first year you'd call in tears
So worn out you would say
If I could be…
