"If I Had You" lyrics

"If I Had You"

I can say I knew you well, as well as anybody could
I can say I knew you when we were young
And A long time ago, took your hand, pulled you close
You pulled away & blamed the cold & the time

If I was young I would go back
And Pick you up against your will
Take you with me everywhere that I go
If I had you I'd give money & all the love that you could hold
And Every morning we'd go dancing
If I had you I would be gold

They say not to dwell on the things that we can't have
And To leave what's been done in the past
But the memories come in
And Some get left behind
But the sun won't go away just 'cause you ask

If I was young I would go back
And Pick you up against your will
Take you with me everywhere that I go
If I had you I'd give money & all the love that you could hold
And Every morning we'd go dancing
If I had you I would be gold
If I had you I would be gold

Still sometimes late at night
In my dreams, I'll drift away
To the place I left alone for so many years
And There you are, just like before
And Here I am just like today
As I wake up, I'll watch you disappear

If I was young I would go back
And Pick you up against your will
Take you with me everywhere that I go
If I had you I'd give money & all the love that you could hold
And Every morning we'd go dancing
If I had you I would be gold
If I had you I would be gold
