If You Have to Go Away — текст песни (Amy Grant)

When I was a younger

I used to dream a lot

Staring into my coffee

About how youd love me

And write me poetry

And want to be with me, yeah

Well, momma done told me

You might wander far, yeah

But nobody warned me

The road would own your heart



And so Im saying

If you have to go away

I will be waiting by the phone

And if you have to go away

Ill put your records on

Pretend youre still at home



Now that Im older

I sit at home a lot

With the kid weve got, yeah

The radios playing

He really loves his wife

I hear the d.j. saying

Well momma done told me

You might wander far, oh

As long as you hold me

More than you hold that guitar



Ill keep on saying

If you have to go away

Ill leave your shoes beside the bed

And if you have to go away

Ill want to be with you

Ill be with me instead

If you have to go away

I wont be sleeping very well

But if you have to go away

Ill be loving you

Till its cold in hell



Maybe youll write me this time

Maybe youll call on a static line

Saying dont you ever worry your pretty mind

Cause you and me are gonna be fine



And so Im saying

If you have to go away

I will be waiting by the phone

And if you have to go away

Ill put your records on

Pretend youre still at home



If you have to go away

Ill leave your shoes beside the bed

And if you have to go away

Ill want to be with you

Ill be with me instead

If you have to go away

I wont be sleeping very well

But if you have to go away

Ill be loving you

Ill be loving you

If you have to go away
