Terri Clark - If I Could Be You lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The first time we met I swore I hated you<br>

When all you had to do was walk into the room<br>

You got everyone's attention just by bein you<br>

Something I could never do<br>

But always wanted to<br>

You were beautiful, you had it all<br>

Never bought yourself a drink<br>

And sittin there just watchin you<br>

I couldn't help but think<br>

<br>

If I could be you<br>

I'd take your place<br>

For an hour, for a day<br>

I could do anything I wanted to<br>

If I could have your perfect life<br>

In a second I'd trade mine<br>

There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do<br>

If I could be you<br>

<br>

Standin in line after too much wine in the ladies room<br>

We started talkin bout the things men do<br>

Yeah we'd been in each others shoes<br>

Now it's ten years later and we've shared everything<br>

Tears, clothes & dreams<br>

I helped you pick your wedding ring<br>

I remember when I held your hand the day the baby came<br>

How that whole first year you'd call in tears<br>

So worn out you would say<br>

<br>

If I could be you<br>

I'd take your place<br>

For an hour for a day<br>

I'd do the kind of things that I used to<br>

What I wouldn't give sometimes<br>

For a second that's just mine<br>

On days like this there's nothin I wouldn't do<br>

If I could be you<br>

<br>

Well time flies by and how things change<br>

Sittin in this room today<br>

There's not much either one of us can say<br>

The doctors have done all they can<br>

I'm holding your hand again<br>

Wishin I could take it all away<br>

<br>

If I could be you<br>

I'd take your place<br>

For an hour for a day<br>

And I'd gladly bear the pain you're goin through<br>

To give you back your perfect life<br>

In a second I'd trade mine<br>

There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do<br>

Girl there's nothin in this world I wouldn't do<br>

If I could be you<br>

<BR><BR>
