Impossible
Aretha Franklin · Other Songs - Aretha Franklin
If they had ever told me
How sweet a kiss could be
I would have said, impossible,
Impossible for me
And if they said, you'll find love
Beyond the rainbows end
I would have said, Impossible,
Impossible, my friend.
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems I'm livin' in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam
Would calm a stormy sea
I would have said, impossible,
But now at last I see
That nothing is impossible
If you are here with me.
How sweet a kiss could be
I would have said, impossible,
Impossible for me
And if they said, you'll find love
Beyond the rainbows end
I would have said, Impossible,
Impossible, my friend.
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems I'm livin' in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam
Would calm a stormy sea
I would have said, impossible,
But now at last I see
That nothing is impossible
If you are here with me.
