If I Had Wings Composer(s): Charlie Burchill; Jim Kerr Performer(s): Simple Minds
Open inside something about this pain There's something about this sweet refrain Reminds me that you're not there And if I could care there's something about this curse Like a needle inside a silken purse Reminds me of all that you'd bring If I had wings I'm still standing
Blue mountain high Only the fables get to fly Without these words there's no reason why It reminds me of all that you bring
If I had wings Would like to teach myself If I had wings Would learn to stir myself If I had wings Strapped inside won't be denied
Nightmare brings All that you said And if I could fly Long time saviour That's the sinner's crime Well without such trust I know that I can never find Never find - Never find - Never find
If I had wings If I had wings
I'm still standing
Never find - Never find - Never find
Open inside something about this pain There's something about this sweet refrain Reminds me that you're not there And if I could care there's something about this curse Like a needle inside a silken purse Reminds me of all that you'd bring If I had wings If I had wings If I had wings If I had wings
If I Had Three Wishes Composer(s): C. Baum; Lew Spence Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Oh, if I had three wishes, my first would be for you And if you became my love, I'd return the other two Oh, if I had three wishes, I'd ask for you alone All the other things I want will be mine when you're my own But if you chose me, that I must use the other two It wouldn't matter, dear, cause here's what I would do If I had those three wishes, my first would be for you And the second and the third would be that my first wish comes true

If I Had Only Known Composer(s): Craig Morris; Jana Stanfield Performer(s): Reba McEntire
If I had only known It was the last walk in the rain I'd keep you out for hours in the storm I would hold your hand Like a lifeline to my heart Underneath the thunder we'd be warm If I had only known It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known I'd never hear your voice again I'd memorize each thing you ever said And on those lonely nights I could think of them once more Keep your words alive inside my head If I had only know I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand You were the one who always stood beside me So unaware I foolishly believed That you would always be there But then there came a day And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known It was my last night by your side I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn And when you'd smile at me I would look into your eyes And make sure you knew my love For you goes on and on If I had only known If I had only known The love I would've shown If I had only known

If I Had My Life To Live Over Composer(s): Moe Tobias; Charles Jaffe; Larry Vincent Performer(s): The Three Suns and multiple other artists
As I review my life with you Since the days of old I wouldn't think of changing things For all the World and its gold
If I had my life to live over I'd do the same things again I'd still want to roam Near the place we called home Where my happiness never would end I'd meet you when school days were over And we'd walk through the lanes we once knew If I had my life to live over I'd still fall in love with you
