If I Was Your Lover
Kylie Minogue · Kylie Minogue
and never realize that way I feel about you
my tongue gets tied and my mouth gets dry
I wanna tell you but I don't know how to
*But through every night I dream
hope and pray and believe
that someday you and I will live in ecstasy
the world for you and me
**One love, one life
everything would be alright if I was your lover
one soul, one life'
everything would be alright if I was your lover
Another day goes by and it blows my mind
if I didn't know that you were meant for me
under the moonlit night when the time is right
you hold me in your arms from here to infinity
[*Repeat]
[**Repeat with ad lib]
[SPOKEN:]
If I was your lover I'd hold you in my arms from dusk 'til
dawn if I was your lover one night would last for eternity if
we were together
But every night I dream
hope and pray and believe, yeah
so happy cause you're mine
we'll live in ecstasy , the world for you and me
[**Repeat 2 times]
