If I were there

If I were there
If I were there

I'd hold you close
and pet your hair

I'd make a dirty joke
just to hear you laugh again
just to make you laugh again

If I were there

If I were there
If I were there

I'd hold you close
to show I care

I'd make a stupid face
just to see you smile again
just to make you smile again

If I were there

But I'm not there
No, I'm not there

you keep reminding me
reminding me
that I'm no longer there

No, I'm not there
I can't be there

I'm far away
so far away
I can't show you how I care

in another time
on another day
I was there
to make you smile
to be your smile

but now
I'm not there
