If I Could

If I could hold you forever and never let go
Through the dark and mean weather
If I could hold you so close

I would hold your hand in mine and never let go
Through the harsh sands of time
I would hold you so close

I've always felt something, stronger for you
I spent so long wondering
That I could then only lose
You found someone better, more deserving of you
I'll reread our old letters
Because it's all I can do

If I could write down our stories to make sure they collide
From our twenties to forties
I'd make sure you were mine

I would plan out our paths I would unlock the doors
Making sure that we'd last
I'd ensure that we'd fall

We lost before starting, we didn't fall right
One prolonged tearful parting
On one cold rainy night
There are so many "ifs" that I wish I had done
Only so much you can wish
But I wish I hadn't run

If I had one more chance to tell you this all
I would put my pride last
I'd stand for you so tall

If I could hold you forever
I would hold you so tight
If I could write down our stories
I would bow down and write
If I had one more chance
I would hold you tonight

I would love to have your love I would love to love you
I can't tell you enough
That I still love you
