If You Have To Go Away

Amy Grant

When I was a younger

I used to dream a lot

Staring into my coffee

About how you'd love me

And write me poetry

And want to be with me, yeah

Well, momma done told me

You might wander far, yeah

But nobody warned me

The road would own your heart



And so I'm saying

If you have to go away

I will be waiting by the phone

And if you have to go away

I'll put your records on

Pretend you're still at home



Now that I'm older

I sit at home a lot

With the kid we've got, yeah

The radio's playing

He really loves his wife

I hear the D.J. saying

Well momma done told me

You might wander far, oh

As long as you hold me

More than you hold that guitar



I'll keep on saying

If you have to go away

I'll leave your shoes beside the bed

And if you have to go away

I'll want to be with you

I'll be with me instead

If you have to go away

I won't be sleeping very well

But if you have to go away

I'll be loving you

Till it's cold in hell



Maybe you'll write me this time

Maybe you'll call on a static line

Saying don't you ever worry your pretty mind

Cause you and me are gonna be fine



And so I'm saying

If you have to go away

I will be waiting by the phone

And if you have to go away

I'll put your records on

Pretend you're still at home



If you have to go away

I'll leave your shoes beside the bed

And if you have to go away

I'll want to be with you

I'll be with me instead

If you have to go away

I won't be sleeping very well

But if you have to go away

I'll be loving you

I'll be loving you

If you have to go away
