If I Could Be There - Emmylou Harris

If I could be there

I’d be there tonight comforting you

This road I’m on is so far away, too far away

If God would grant me wings to fly

I’d be in your arms by and by

If I could be there

I’d be there tonight comforting you

If I could be there

I’d look in your eyes and say I love you

These hills and highways between us

Now keep us apart

If God would grant me wings to fly

I’d be in your arms by and by

If I could be there

I’d look in your eyes and say I love you

If I could be there

I wouldn’t have this pain in my heart

Tomorrow I’ll wake up with joy for the day, joy for the day

If God would grant me wings to fly

I’d be in your arms by and by

If I could be there

I wouldn’t have this pain in my heart

If I could be there…
