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 everyones 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 couldnt help but think
If I could be you
Id 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 Id trade mine
Theres nothin in this world I wouldnt 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 wed been in each others shoes
Now its ten years later and weve 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 youd call in tears
So worn out you would say
If I could be you
Id take your place
For an hour for a day
Id do the kind of things that I used to
What I wouldnt give sometimes
For a second thats just mine
On days like this theres nothin I wouldnt do
If I could be you
Well time flies by and how things change
Sittin in this room today
Theres not much either one of us can say
The doctors have done all they can
Im holding your hand again
Wishin I could take it all away
If I could be you
Id take your place
For an hour for a day
And Id gladly bear the pain youre goin through
To give you back your perfect life
In a second Id trade mine
Theres nothin in this world I wouldnt do
Girl theres nothin in this world I wouldnt do
If I could be you
