If I Could
by John Michael Ray

I wish that I could take your pain
And wear it as my own
If I could
You know I surely would
I wish that I could stop the rain
Calm winds that have blown
If I could
You know I surely would

Seeing you, I want to cry
Feeling how you feel inside
Knowing there is nothing I can do
If I could take it all away
If I could make it all ok
If I had to, I would carry you

I wish that I could stem the tide
Stop waves from crashing down
If I could
You know I surely would
I wish I could bring back what died
Create new life all around
If I could
You know I surely would

Sensing this might be the end
Hoping we can ride again
Needing so much more from me and you
My back is up against the wall
My back is strong, it took the fall
My back is strong enough to carry two

I wish that I could hold you now
Take you in my arms
If I could
You know I surely would
I wish I had the words somehow
Causing no more harm
If I could
You know I surely would

I guess this really is good-bye
A final call for you and I
Time to part our ways and walk away
If I could only change the past
If I could somehow make it last
If I could find a way to make you stay
