If I could
Iíd change the weather
Iíd make it rain
Cuz I know
It would be better
To stay inside all day
There is one thing I should tell you
One thing I wouldnít change
Not you, you stay the same
If I could
Iíd change the time of day
The sun would rise
Cuz I know
The day looks better
From that side
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I wish I knew the cards
Like a gypsy or a priest
I wish the cards had told me
Not to walk on down that west side street
If I could
I would change myself
Iíd let you in
Cuz you know
That I have things to tell
Where do I begin?
with this one thing I should tell you
One thing I wouldn't change
Not you, you stay the same
Not you, you stay the same
Not you, you stay the same
