"If You Could Read My Mind" lyrics
Stars On 54 Lyrics
(originally by Gordon Lightfoot)
(from "54" soundtrack)
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, yeah
If I could read your mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartache
Comes the hero would be you
Heroes often fail
Never thought I'd feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
And when you reach the part where the heartache
Comes the hero would be you
Heroes often fail
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
...
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, yeah
If I could read your mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartache
Comes the hero would be you
Heroes often fail
Never thought I'd feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
And when you reach the part where the heartache
Comes the hero would be you
Heroes often fail
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
If you could. If you could. If you could read my mind.
