If I Could Be You

The first time we met I swore I hated you

When all you had to do was walk into the room

You got everyone's attention just by bein you

Something I could never do

But always wanted to

You were beautiful' you had it all

Never bought yourself a drink

And sittin there just watchin you

I couldn't help but think

If I could be you

I'd take your place

For an hour' for a day

I could do anything I wanted to

If I could have your perfect life

In a second I'd trade mine

There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do

If I could be you

After too much wine Standin in line in the ladies room

We started talkin about the things men do

Yeah we'd been in each others shoes

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

Tears' clothes & dreams

I helped you pick your wedding ring

I remember when I held your hand the day the baby came

How that whole first year you'd call in tears

So worn out you would say

If I could be you

I'd take your place

For an hour for a day

I'd do the kind of things that I used to

What I wouldn't give sometimes

For a second that's just mine

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

If I could be you

Well time flies by and how things change

Sittin in this room today

There's not much either one of us can say

The doctors have done all they can

I'm holding your hand again

Wishin I could take it all away

If I could be you

I'd take your place

For an hour for a day

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

To give you back your perfect life

In a second I'd trade mine

There's nothin in this world I wouldn't do

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

If I could be you
