Song language: English
If I Had A Reason |
| If I had a reason I’d tell you what it is |
| Must I explain how I feel |
| I’ve tried and I’ve tried to make it so clear |
| But my time is just wasted I fear |
| Well it’s only an old song but it serves it’s purpose so well |
| By the cry in your voice I can tell |
| When you sing there’s a feeling behind the words |
| That brings it all back again |
| I’m reaching, I’m reaching, while you slip away |
| I’m searching for words I can say |
| I’m listening, I’m listening, tryin' not to hear |
| You say that we might meet some day |
| There’s a picture that’s faded and curling from it’s frame |
| Of a face that smiles patiently |
| It might smile forever to make me feel better |
| But I just might wait to see |
| Oh I’m reaching, I’m reaching while you slip away |
| I’m searching for words I can’t say |
| I’m listening, I’m listening tryin' not to hear |
| You say that we might meet some day |
| There’s answers to questions that we both wanna know |
| But those answers keep evading me |
| There’s rhymes and there’s reasons, there’s rights and there’s wrongs |
| For being what you are to me |
| If I had a a reason I’d tell you what it is |
| Would you do the same thing for me? |
| «Cause the minute you go there’s one thing I know |
| That the day will mean nothing for me |
