If You Were Mine to Lose
Loretta Lynn · Woman of the World/To Make a Man [1969]
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losin' you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you
You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory.
Just to know that you were mine to lose
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.

If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losin' you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you
You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory.
Just to know that you were mine to lose
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
--- Instrumental ---
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
