(if i could only) change your mind

Singer: jarreau, al

so you say it's over -

you turn and walk away

and love is like a stranger

who is running out of things to say

move me over slowly -

softly close the door

you say that you need nothing

but this empty bed is begging for more

oh! if i could only change your mind

then we would find love begin

if i could only change your mind

our love would never end

the minutes move like soldiers creeping

through the night

and oh

my heart lies wounded

as love is fighting to survive
