If I Could Read Your Mind
If I Could Read Your Mind
If I could read your mind my dear, as kindred spirits do
I'd take you back in time my love, to when cupid's arrow flew
Then to that time, a not too distant past, when your world fell apart
A time your love departed and left a shattered broken heart
I'd mend your heart with so much care, make sad memories take their flight
Then bring you back to present times and a future oh so bright
For love is often bitter - sweet and you deserve a second chance
To have cupid's arrow take flight once more, fill life with sweet romance.
But I can truly read your mind my love and what a tale it tells,
Those longings deep inside your soul need far more than wedding bells
You need a rock to lean on, to stay always by your side
To carry you in times of need, fill you with so much pride
You need a man, a real man, not the ones that you've been sold
But one who'll stay forever young in mind and stop you growing old
One to make you laugh, as you've never laughed before
All it takes from you my love, courage to open up the door
To take a risk and leave to chance that once again your soul might dance
Your spirits soar so high to glide as heart meets heart as hearts collide
