If I Had My Way

If I Had My Way

A Poem by Bo Lanier

If I Had My Way you'd be here

With me today

If I Had My Way you would of

Got away

'Cuz it doesn't seem right now

Without you in my life but

If I Had My Way somehow

Someway I'd find a way to make

You love me again just like

Yesterday If I Had My Way oh

If only I Had My Way

For you are still the fire that burns

Within my heart like a candle in the

Dark, you are the dream I dream

Every day and every night oh my

First love you're still the love of my

Life and if you could hear my prayers

Now I know you'd hear them say...

If I Had My Way you'd be here

With me today

If I Had My Way you would of

Got away

'Cuz it doesn't seem right now

Without you in my life but

If I Had My Way somehow

Someway I'd find a way to make

You love me again just like

Yesterday If I Had My Way oh

If only I Had My Way

But now alas I'm old enough to

Know we don't always get our way

Still at the same time I can't help but

From wishing today will find us back

Together again I just can't let go no

Oh no I just can't let go and I can

Still hear you saying...

"I love you too much for our love to

Ever end” but where are you now

My love as once upon a time dragged

On and on then now happily ever

After is dead and gone like a leaf in

The wind maybe I'm a dreamer still

Reliving the ghost of a dream but I

Can’t let go, no, oh no I still can't let

You go and if you could hear my

Prayers I know you'd hear them say...

If I Had My Way you'd be here

With me today

If I Had My Way you would of

Got away

'Cuz it doesn't seem right now

Without you in my life but

If I Had My Way somehow

Someway I'd find a way to make

You love me again just like

Yesterday If I Had My Way oh

If only I Had My Way, if only

If only I had it My Way!
