"If I Could Call" lyrics

If I could call
I probably wouldn't be all that honest
At least not right away
If I could call
I'd ask you to talk about Las Vegas
You always had so much to say

I wouldn't tell ya how I feel
I'd try my best to smile
And pray the tears would hold back for awhile

If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Yea I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
I wouldn't be here wide awake
If I could call

If I could call
You'd tell me when were just a young boy
You and Mammaw fell in love
If I could call
You'd say boy when you become a father
It's a gift from God above

You'd say when Momma was a baby
She'd never leave your side
And my Momma was there again the day you died

If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Yea I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
I wouldn't be here wide awake
If I could call

If I could call
I'd wipe the tears away
And say my only son
In the morning he'll be eight
If I could call
I'd tell you that the greatest thing I've ever done
Is give that boy your name

If I could call
If I could call
