Well, everytime I try to love another
I never know exactly what to do Id like to tell her just how much I want her
And I could find the way if she were you
Her eyes may shine for me and not another,
Her lonely arms reach out to hold me too,
She wants to take your place and be my lover
And I could make her mine if she were you
I never knew how much I cared about you
Till your memory made me a lovesick fool
When she speaks to me I hear you sweet voice calling
When I close my eyes your face comes into view
I remember how it hurt when I was falling
And I could fall again if she were you
I never knew how much I cared about you
Till your memory made me a lovesick fool
She wants to take your place and be my lover
And I could make her mine if she were you
Yes, I could make her mine if she was you
if only i had born just a few years earlier and lived close to the small town where he grew up. I'm sure i could have been able to help him get over that mean woman!!!
What a beautiful song!!! John sang not only from the heart but from his soul. He made one feel every word of the song was written for them. Rest in Peace John. Keep singing for the Angels.
He's got that lonesome sound in his voice the way Hank Williams had.
I tried many times to get that sound but it's so rare and I knew learning to fly a 747 would be easier, easier but way out of my league, too.
