If She Were You — текст песни (John Prine)

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
