If I Had You

I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could

I can say I knew you when we were young

and a long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close

You pulled away and blamed the cold and the time

If I was young I would go back

and pick you up against your will

Take you with me everywhere that I go

If I had you I’d give money and all the love that you could hold

and every morning we’d go dancing

If I had you I would be gold

They say not to dwell on the things that we can’t have

and to leave what’s been done in the past

But the memories come in

and some get left behind

But the sun won’t go away just ‘cause you ask

If I was young I would go back

and pick you up against your will

Take you with me everywhere that I go

If I had you I’d give money and all the love that you could hold

and every morning we’d go dancing

If I had you I would be gold

If I had you I would be gold

Still sometimes late at night

In my dreams, I’ll drift away

To the place I left alone for so many years

and there you are, just like before

and here I am just like today

As I wake up, I’ll watch you disappear

If I was young I would go back

and pick you up against your will

Take you with me everywhere that I go

If I had you I’d give money and all the love that you could hold

and every morning we’d go dancing

If I had you I would be gold

If I had you I would be gold
