IF I COULD
BACKSTORY
IF I COULD * I wrote this song and sang it in 5 minutes. The song struck me out of an outpouring of emotions. Thinking of past love ones and present loved ones who struggle. That was the inspiration in this song. 

LYRICS
IF I COULD WALK, I’D WALK RIGHT BACK TO YOU 
IF I COULD TALK, I’D TALK ALL DAY WITH YOU
IF I COULD SING, I’D SING A SONG FOR YOU
IF I COULD, OH IF I COULD

IF I COULD RUN, I’D RUN RIGHT BACK TO YOU 
IF I COULD LOVE, I’D LOVE YOU THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH
IF I COULD SEE JUST ONE MORE GLIMPSE OF YOU
IF I COULD, OH IF I COULD

TO TALK THE TALK, AND WALK THE WALK, IT’S OVER NOW 
AND I JUST WANT TO DO THOSE THINGS AGAIN
BUT I JUST CAN’T BRING MYSELF THERE RIGHT NOW
IF I COULD, YOU KNOW I WOULD

IF I COULD DANCE, I’D DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY
IF I COULD HOLD YOU IN THAT SPECIAL WAY
IF I COULD GO BACK, I’D SPEND ALL NIGHT AND DAY
IF I COULD, OH IF I COULD

SOLO 

IF I COULD WALK, I’D WALK RIGHT BACK TO YOU 
IF I COULD TALK, I’D TALK THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH
IF I COULD SING, JUST ONE MORE SONG FOR YOU
OH IF I COULD, OH IF I COULD

IF I COULD, OH IF I COULD 
IF I COULD, YOU KNOW I WOULD
