"If I Could" is a demo recording of a recent (adult contemporary/pop) song of mine reflecting on a few love affairs that went sideways. Destined for a great singer.

If I Could I'd Send You Roses



If I could I’d send you Roses
Of the kind that seem to glow with their own light
Or Tulips that hold their own poses
As if trying to reach out to you in the night

And If I could I’d find a way to go back and start out
And this time everything would be all right
But here I am my head in hand, again, pouring my heart out…
When truth visits upon me in the night.

The months have slowly fallen
Like petals gently floating to the ground
Into the wind your name I’m calling,
With the crazy idea you might hear the sound

And if I could I’d call you once again to find out
If you had any plans
made for tonight
But here I am in the land of the solitary holdout
When bitter truths and broken dreams come visit in the night

(bridge)

I don’t know what to do
with all these,
all these memories of you, it’s like,
I can still hear you
But, what I would give if I could see you
I’d give anything, anything at all just to see you, girl…
Then everything would be all right…

(verse)

Into the past I’ve fallen
and I’m trying to get my head back to the ground
Where the present heed their calling
While my heart takes the long road
through lost and found

And if I could I’d re-align the stars to standby
And I’d tell them to never go out of sight
But here I am, my head in hand
Watching them glide by
When truth visits upon me every night.

If I could I’d send every little star to be near you, girl…

Then everything would be all right.
