Lyrics Edwyn Collins

Edwyn Collins

If You Could Love Me

Darkness, darkness all around

And my senses have been stripped

Of sight and sound

Suddenly I came to, I pulled through

Amazed at what I saw

Struggling hard to find the words

When words tends to stick right in my craw

I'm talking about seizing the moments

When the moment has gone

There's no telling me 'cause I'm holding on

Hoping against hope that you've got it wrong

If you could love me

Like I love you

If you could love me

Like I love you

Frozen in time and space

Yet I feel no need

To get out of this place

And suddenly the earth moved

The planets grooved, I fell down on my knees

Someone whispered take your leave

You're free to go any way you please

I'm talking 'bout seizing the moments

When the moment has gone

There's no telling me 'cause I'm holding on

Hoping against hope that you've got it wrong

If you could love me

Like I love you

If you could love me

Like I love you

I'm talking 'bout holding out

So scared to follow through

I'm talking 'bout holding out

So scared of losing you

If you could love me

Like I love you

If you could love me

Like I love you

If you could love me

Like I love you

Like I love you

Like I love you

'Cause I love you
