If I Could
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.
We're walking in the tall grass
The dew is on our jeans
The summer sun is rising
And the mockingbird sings
When I close my eyes I'm there
And it does my heart good
But it seems so far away
From where I am today
I'd be there if I could
I read it rained last week in Springfield
I bet the corn is shoulder high
I see it dancing on the west wind
Beneath the big Missouri sky
I can see the yellow ribbon
You tied around that cottonwood
And I see the gravel road
That will lead me home
I'd be there if I could
I might be home for Christmas
We'll have to wait and see
But if I can not make it back
Please say a prayer for me
Tell grandma that I love her
Those cookies sure were good
And believe me when I say
If there was another way
I'd be there if I could
Yeah I dream about the day
I won't ever have to say
I'd be there if I could
