I prefer to spend my time is solitary ways<br>
Keeping myself to myself<br>
Can`t pretend that it`s been easy since you went away<br>
Living with somebody else<br>
<br>
If you should change your mind<br>
If you would turn around and look behind<br>
If you could see me the way I used to be<br>
At the rist of bringing back the sorrow and despair<br>
I would do it all again<br>
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care<br>
Knowing that the show was soon to end<br>
If only I could change your mind<br>
If only you would change<br>
If I had the chance I`d do it all again<br>
I would do it all again<br>
<br>
I remember windy shores on melancholy days<br>
Drifting along with the tide<br>
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways<br>
Taking is all in my stride<br>
<br>
If you should change your mind<br>
If I could let you see what lies behind<br>
If you could need me the way it used to be<br>
Even for a moment of the happy times we shared<br>
Living in my dreams since then<br>
At the risk of losing only castles in the air<br>
Come with me and we can try again<br>
Oh, if I could change your mind<br>
<br>
Can`t pretend it`s not been lonely since you went away<br>
Oh, if only I could change your mind<br>
<br>
