Irish Selection 1986:
Linda Martin - "If I Can Change Your Mind"

If I Can Change Your Mind

If I could change your mind
And stop you leaving, I would
If I could change your heart
With words and feelings, I would

I'd fill your eyes with love
And live each moment in each movement that you make
I'd lie awake and count each breath that you would take
I'd weave a spell that only you could ever break
I'd be the one you'd turn to when your world would shake
If I could change your mind

If I could change the past
And stop you leaving, I would
I'd build a dream to last
And I know that it could

With ever ounce of strength that I possess
I'd will you always to be mine
I'd build a world in which the sun would always shine
And never let you hear the sound of someone crying
With you, I know that love would always be so fine
If I could change your mind

If I could change the words of yesterday
If I could feel tomorrows far away
If I could change the way that you feel now
All the hurt would disappear
Somehow, I'd know that I was wrong
And soon you will be gone

I feel the nights I left you all alone with questions in your eyes
To find the difference in the truth from all the lies
It's only now that I can finally realise
The love I searched for was the love that I denied
And if you leave me now, I know that love has died
But if you ѕtay, I'll make each moment come alive

If I could chаnge your mind
