If I Had You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wouldn't have the tv in the bedroom
I wouldn't have this teardrop in my eye
I wouldn't need the radio to be my lullaby
If I had you, if I had you
I wouldn't need the sun to light the morning
If I could have your love to light my night
I'd never for a second keep our love from burnin' bright
If I had you in my life
(*) if I had you again
I wouldn't be the fool I've been
If I had you again
I'd never let the lovin' end
If I had you again
I'd show you baby you're the only one
So say that you believe in second chances
And say you'll let me be with you tonight
(*) if you'll take my hand I'll show you just how love
Ccould be so right
If I had you, if I had you
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Repeat (*)
