IF ONLY HE WERE YOU 

He sets a table for two
Playing Bacharach saying I love you 
He promises me the moon
With two strong arms that could carry me through 

He’s a good man and I swear I could be true
If only he were you 

The wedding has been set 
Mama bought me a brand new ivory dress
I stopped waiting for your call
Probably passed out in some no-name corner bar 

I found a good man and I swear I could be true 
If only he were you

Now the garden’s overgrown
it takes more than one to make a home  
Now your encore’s overdue
Still I wait for the sound of your worn out shoes 

I had a good man and I swore I could be true 
If only he were you
If only he were you
