"If I Could Only Bring You Back"
(Chip Davis / Frank J. Myers)

Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard:
I'm still workin the best job I've ever had
But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made
If I could only bring you back

There's a door that I keep closed; there are boxes full of clothes
But it's memories I'm wishin I could pack
I would retrace every step; say the things I should have said
If I could only bring you back

But there's no words I can say:
Not a prayer I can pray
No road that you can take back to my arms
But you'll never be gone:
Our love will live on
As long as there's a beat in my heart

There's a smile that I still see, a voice callin out to me
And a longing in my soul I've never had
I wish I could touch your face, I would even take your place
If I could only bring you back

But there's no words I can say:
Not a prayer I can pray
No road that you can take back to my arms
But you'll never be gone:
My love will live on
As long as there's a beat in my heart

Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard:
I'm still workin the best job I've ever had
But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made
If I could only bring you back
If I could only bring you back
