Lyrics
Sometimes (I Wish)
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.
If I was a simple man
Would we still walk hand in hand?
And if I suddenly went blind
Would you still look in my eyes?
What happens when I grow old?
And all my stories have been told?
Will your heart still race for me?
Or will it march to a new beat?
If I was a simple man
If I was a simple man
I'd own no home, I'd own no land
Would you still stand by my side?
And would our flame still burn so bright?
Sometimes I wonder why
I'm so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish I could just get a ride
If I was a simple man
And I could make you understand
There'd be no reason to think twice
You'd be my Sun; you'd be my light
If I was a simple man
If I was a simple man
Sometimes I wonder why
I'm so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
