I WOULD IF I COULD

I WOULD IF I COULD

Written by:  S. Patten-Forster

Oh-h-h...I would if I could.

Verse 1:

I wish we could start all over,

to erase all the hurt

and wipe it all away.

All the sadness and pain.

Verse 2:

To replace it with laughter

and bring light to our hearts.

Take away all the sorrows

for much brighter tomorrows.

Chorus:

I would if I could.

I would take us all back

to a time and a place,

I would do it in a flash.

I would if I could,

I would do it all over,

If I knew it would make

our lives so much better.

Verse 3:

People have always said

our lives are what we make it

but sometimes depend on

circumstances and situations.

Verse 4:

Looking back over the years,

seeing all the pain and fears,

my heart aches and breaks

remembering all the tears.

Chorus:

I would if I could,

I would take us all back.

To a time and a place,

I would do it in a flash.

I would if I could

I would do it all over

If I knew it would make

our lives so much better.

Verse 5:

Being so young,

you couldn't understand,

your Mother needed a friend

to lend a helpful, patient hand.

Chorus:

I would if I could,

I would take us all back.

To a time and a place.

I would do it in a flash.

I would if I could

I would do it all over

If I knew it would make

our lives so much better.

}If I knew it would make

our lives so much better.  Ohhhh....
