If I Were

(Earl Montgomery)

Gene Pitney



If I were your friend then I wouldn't be very blue

Cause sometimes you would have me around you

If I were a smile I could feel your lips so warm

If I were your love then would I be in your arms.



If I were a prayer you say before you go sleep tight

Then I know I'd be in your mind tonight

If I were a song the words you sing would tell of me

If I were your love then I wouldn't be lonely.



Wishful thinking in a world of fantasy

Yes, someone you just forgot

And you only might as well believe

For I can be something that I'm not.



If I were your picture your love for me would always last

If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past

If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past

No, if I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past...
