If I Believe

Patti Austin

IF I BELIEVE



If I believe in paradise,

I swear I must be there.

I swear I must be there right now with you.

If I believe in miracles,

I'd know that one was happening to me.



But I don't believe in paradise

And miracles are not real.

Then, someone tell me what is this I feel?



Chorus:

I wanna believe it's love this time.

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.

But with you I can't deny.

If I believe in paradise,

I swear...

I'm there.



If I believe in magic spells,

It all would be so clear:

A magic spell must have brought you here.

If I can see the future,

I'd see if you and I were meant to be.



But I don't know any magic,

And tomorrow's just a dream.

Then something in this fantasy is real.



I wanna believe it's love this time.

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.

I wanna believe it's love this time.

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me lies.

But with you I can't deny

If I believe in paradise, I swear...

I'm there.



I'm there...

I swear...

If I believe.
