If You Could Love Me Lyrics - Edwyn Collins

Darkness, darkness all around 

And my senses have been stripped 

Of sight and sound 

Suddenly I came to, I pulled through 

Amazed at what I saw 

Struggling hard to find the words 

When words tends to stick right in my craw 

I'm talking about seizing the moments 

When the moment has gone 

There's no telling me 'cause I'm holding on 

Hoping against hope that you've got it wrong 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

Frozen in time and space 

Yet I feel no need 

To get out of this place 

And suddenly the earth moved 

The planets grooved, I fell down on my knees 

Someone whispered take your leave 

You're free to go any way you please 

I'm talking 'bout seizing the moments 

When the moment has gone 

There's no telling me 'cause I'm holding on 

Hoping against hope that you've got it wrong 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

I'm talking 'bout holding out 

So scared to follow through 

I'm talking 'bout holding out 

So scared of losing you 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

If you could love me 

Like I love you 

Like I love you 

Like I love you 

'Cause I love you
