If I Were You

If I were you

I would stumble through the darkness

To the phone

And call me up and see

If I'm alone

And ask me if I need some company

If I were you

I would crawl a hundred miles

On hands and knees

Just to hear you say

You're coming back to me

And that things would be the way

They used to be

If only

I were you

In everybody's life

There is wrong and there's right

A time when love begins

And when love dies

And sometimes only a miracle

Can heal what can not heal

Or change the way we feel

Oh, I could change the way you're feeling

About me

If I were you

I would say that this was all

The crazy dream

And when I woke up

You'll be lying here with me

And I would swear to you

That I would never leave

That's how it'd be

If I were you

Sometimes only a miracle

Can heal what can not heal

Or change the way we feel

Oh, I could change the way you're feeling

About me

If I were you

I would tell the one I'm with

I've changed my mind

And life with me

Deserves another try

And that things would be the way

They used to be

If only

I were you

And I would swear to you

That I would never leave

If I were you
