If I could write this song again, I’d be more true to how I feel
I would use blue collar words so it would come across as real
as every thought I’ve ever had of you; the good ones and the bad
I would say you’ve made me happy; I would say you’ve made me sad
I would tell you that I loved you, the best that I knew how
I would say that I’m so sorry you’re not here with me right now
I would detail in the verses all the places that we’ve been
‘til it’s crystal clear…I miss you, dear…
If I could write this song again.
If I could write this song again, it would take a whole new turn
I’d be sure that it contained a couple of lessons that I’ve learned;
That you can’t ignore the tempo when things begin too fast
You’d better take time to be tender if you want the thing to last
And you should always trust your heart when you don’t know what to say
If we could both could do that, you know we might just be OK
‘Cause without our hearts we’re fighting a battle we can’t win
I’d be careful to share this with you…
If I could write this song again.
(If I could write this song…
If I could write this song again…
If I could write this song…)
If I could write this song again, it would be a love song to be sure
I would sing it everyday to the one I wrote it for
We would smile as we danced all across the kitchen tile
I’d never pass up on the chance to let you sing for a while
And I’d tell you that I loved you, the best way I knew how
I would say that I’m so glad that you’re right here with me right now
I’d explore in every chorus what I wish that I knew then
That we had it good…and you know I would…
Yeah we had it good…and you know I would…
If I could write this song again.
