If You Could Only

If You Could Only

You say if you could only

        Love me only

        We’d always be

But until you make your mind up

        ‘Bout what you’re made of

        Alone we’ll be

If I lay my body down tonight

Should I wake and find you by my side

It’s so hard to be jealous

When you’re not with us

I stop and start

You can say that’s where the money is

You can say that’s how our time was spent

Take the long road and winding

        The love you’re finding’s

        Around the bend

But if you use all your time up

        Then where you end up’s

        Alone again

If you say the world would end tonight

I would pray that you’d be by my side

What it takes to be living

Isn’t just winning

It’s what you give
