If I Could Lyrics - Singles - Hometown News

We're walking in the tall grass 

The dew is on our jeans 

The summer sun is rising 

And the mockingbird sings 

When I close my eyes I'm there 

And it does my heart good 

But it seems so far away 

From where I am today 

I'd be there if I could 

I read it rained last week in Springfield 

I bet the corn is shoulder high 

I see it dancing on the west wind 

Beneath the big Missouri sky 

I can see the yellow ribbon 

You tied around that cottonwood 

And I see the gravel road 

That will lead me home 

I'd be there if I could 

I might be home for Christmas 

We'll have to wait and see 

But if I can not make it back 

Please say a prayer for me 

Tell grandma that I love her 

Those cookies sure were good 

And believe me when I say 

If there was another way 

I'd be there if I could 

Yeah I dream about the day 

I won't ever have to say 

I'd be there if I could
