It's times like these I wish I couldn't keep you Tucked within the corners of my mind Still today I wish I never claimed to Walk a straight line anytime I like I wonder if I called you Would it be alright to say I loved you? Morning hasn't broken since I told you I could use some time to make it right Now you're just a whisper, just a notion Just a story I can read at night The clouds move slower than they ever seemed to Still, they find a way to pass me by My friends, though, they wonder what I'm used to To love a man who never treats me right I wonder if I called you Would it be alright to say I loved you? ♪ I tried to take the time to love another Just a friend that I could cling to tight His eyes, they spoke with hunger and devotion But they're not the eyes in the corner of my mind I wonder if I called you Would it be alright to say I loved you? I wonder if I called you Would it be alright to say I loved you?
