If You Were Me

kindness in your eyes

I guess you heard me cry

you smiled at me like

Jesus to a child

I'm blessed I know

heaven sent and heaven stole

you smiled at me like

Jesus to a child

and what have I learned

from all this pain

I thought I'd never feel the same

about anyone or anything again

but now I know

when you find a love

when you know that it exists

then the lover that you miss

will come to you on those coldcold nights

when you've been loved

when you know it holds such bliss

then the lover that you kissed

will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

sadness in your eyes

no one guessedwell no one tried

you smiled at me like

Jesus to a child

loveless and cold

with your last breath

you saved my soul

you smiled at me like

Jesus to a child

and what have I learned

from all those tears

I've waited for you all those years

and just when it began

he took your love away

but I still say

when you find a love

when you know that it exists

then the lover that you miss

will come to you on those coldcold nights

when you've been loved

when you know it holds such bliss

then the lover that you kissed

will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

so the words you could no say

I'll sing them for you

and the love we would have made

I'll make it for two

for every single memory

has become a part of me

you will always be my love

well I've been loved

so I know just what love is

and the lover that I kissed

is always by my side

oh the lover I still miss

was Jesus to a child
