If I Could

Charlton Hill

If I could capture time in my hands,

if I could halt the hourglass sands,

I would put an end to all but laughter

a smile on your face forever after.



If I could catch the feather blown by the breeze,

If I could heal the wound that starts to bleed,

I'd give a hand to the man under newspaper,

Do all I can have a word to my maker.



But first I'd

Freeze frame this moment with you

and make it last

You know I'd

Freeze frame this moment with you

so please slow down, down go so fast.



If I could stop the water from the sky

If I could hold back the morning tide

I'd shout out to the world on a loud speaker

the message of love is what I would teach you



Sounds coming from the underground

hearts leaving town I'd show

that I'd come running for you



If I could capture time in my hands

If I could halt the hourglass sands

I'd put an end to all but laughter

a smile on your face is all I'm after



If I could you know I would.
