If I Could Only Win Your Love

Emmylou Harris · The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & High [2005]

(Ira Louvin/Charlie Louvin)



If I could only win your love

I'd make the most of everything

I'd proudly wear your wedding ring

My heart would never stray when you're away.



If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live

You'll never know how much I give

If I could only win your love.



Oh how can I ever say

How I crave your love when your gone away

Oh how can I ever show

How I burn inside when you hold me tight.



If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live

You'll never know how much I give

If I could only win your love.



Oh how can I ever say

How I crave your love when your gone away

Oh how can I ever show

How I burn inside when you hold me tight.



If I could only win your love

I'd give my all to make it live

You'll never know how much I give

If I could only win your love...
