then i would.....

i knew right from the start,
you had so much to hide
i could see it in your eyes.
i dont know what he does,
but i'll wipe your tears away,
prayin till you see the day.

it's out of my hands,
till you take a stand,
to his lies
and maybe i'm a fool,
'cause i'm waitin here for you,

just let me hold you baby,

if i could,
then i would,
give you the stars from heaven above,
in these arms (in these arms)
i'll take you around the world...
with the love i have for you....

ooohhhhhhooohhhhh

it tears me apart,
watchin you fade away,
knowing he's the one to blame,
if i kissed you goodnight,
would you believe in me,
would it give you strength to see,

it's all in your hands,
i'll give you what i can,
give you time.
and maybe i'm a fool,
who keeps waitin here for you

just let me hold you baby,

if i could
then i would,
give you the stars from heaven above,
in these arms (in these arms)
i'll take you around the world
with the love i have for you

if i could
give you the stars from heaven above
in these arms (in these arms)
i'll take you around the world,
with the love i have for you...

i dont know if it shows,
if anyone knows,
im cryin inside of my soul
but i swear (i swear)
it's for you(it's for you)
all i do(all i do)
cause i can't live my life without you!

if i could
then i would
give you the stars from heaven above
in these arms (in these arms)
i'll take you around the world,
with the love i have for you. 2 x

if i could,
i would
