If I Could Lyrics

If I could right now, I'd like to be your mother

So I could give to you and not have to explain

I would brush your hair and tell you you'll be alright

And if you cried, well, you would not feel ashamed

But I, I am just a friend

And I will try again, again



If I could right now, I'd like to be your journal

So you could tell me everything right on the page

And I'd never misunderstand you or say the wrong thing

And I would not feel deserted by your rage

But I, I am just a friend

And I will try again, again



If I could right now, I'd like be a full moon

So I could rise up just to keep you company

And you could wonder out loud to me about the strange things

And you would think I understood the mysteries

But I, I am just a friend

And I will try again, again
