What If
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 could meet myself as a boy if i could meet myself as a boy
I would tell him be careful son i would tell him be careful son
Show the path to take and those avoid show the path to take those and avoid
And with faith i would send him on with faith and i would send him on
Chorus:
What if what if
Could it be could it be
What if what if
Should it be it should be
What if what if
What would i be what i would be
If i took the hand she said she gave if i took the hand she said she gave
Would it be any better now it would be any better now
Would the friendship that we made would the friendship that we made
Be the love that we never found be the love that we never found
Chorus:
What if what if
Could it be could it be
What if what if
Should it be it should be
Bridge.
Can we leave with no regrets can we leave with no regrets
Say the word and ill repent say the word and ill repent
On the day i have to go on the day i have to go
Ill be sure to let you know ill be sure to let you know
