if i could change your mind lyrics

I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
Keepin' myself to myself
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
Livin' with somebody else

If you should change your mind
If you would turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be
At the risk of bringin' back the sorrow and despair

I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end

If only I could change your mind
If only you would change
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
I would do it all again

I remember windy shores on melancholy days
Drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
Takin' it all in my stride

If you should change your mind
If I could let you see what lies behind
If you could need me the way it used to be

Even for a moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again

Ohh, oh if I could change your mind
Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away
Oh, if only I could change your mind

If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
