If I Were You

If I Were You
(David Olney, John Hadley)

If I were you
Here’s what I’d do
I’d put a candle in the window
I’d watch the clouds roll
Across a moonlit sky
While you were gone
I’d carry on
And I’d dream of your returning
That’s what I’d do
If I were you

If I were you
I’d be as blue
As the hills on the horizon
I’d keep my eyes on
A day that’s yet to come
I’d remember your face
And this place
And the promise that we made here
That’s what I’d do
If I were you

If you were me
You would see
Though the miles keep us apart
If you were me
You would believe
I will hold you in my arms again
And not just in my heart

If I were you
Here’s what I’d do
I’d put a candle in the window
That’s what I’d do
If I were you
That’s what I’d do
If I were you
That’s what I’d do
If I were you
