If I
by: Richie HavensIf I could tell a story, what secrets I would tell
Of those who have gotten the glory
And those who went to hell.
If I could show the pictures,
Of the faces I believed
They'd all be children smiling
With nothing up there sleeves.
I'd remember ever detail, I'd remember every flaw
And every time we failed to open every door.
If I could change the ending, no one would ever lose
Id keep this road from bending, no one should have to
choose
We walked this line together, then share what can share
Then we'd all do this forever, then that should get us
