If You Could Love Me
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.
Darkness
Darkness all around
And my senses have been stripped of sight and sound
Suddenly I came to,
A voodoo, amazed at what I saw
Struggling how to find the words
But words tend to stick right in my craw
I'm talking about siezing the moment
When the moment has gone
There's no telling me 'cos I'm holding on
Hope against hope that you've got it wrong
If you could love me
Like I love you
If you could love me
Like I love you
Frozen in time and space
Yet I feel no need to get out of this place
But suddenly the earth moved the planets grooved
I fell down on my knees
Someone pushed that take your leave
Your free go anyway you please
I'm talking about siezing the moment
When the moment has gone
There's no telling me 'cos I'm holding on
Hope against hope that you've got it wrong
If you could love me
Like I love you
If you could love me
Like I love you
I'm talking 'bout holding out
So scared to follow you
I'm talking 'bout holding out
So scared of loosing you
(Break)
If you could love me
Like I love you
If you could love me
Like I love you
If you could love me
Like I love you
Like I love you
Like I love you
'Cos I love you
