If I Could Be Him

IF I COULD BE HIM

(Merle Haggard)

We're all friends you and I me and him

And it's wrong to want you like I do

And no way can wrong be right but I'd give the world tonight

If I could just be him holding you

I know that you could never trade his love for mine

And I know my dreams can never be

Cause no way can wrong be right but I'd give the world tonight

If I could just be him instead of me

I can see everything in you I ever dreamed of

But someone I call my friend stands in the way

I'd give everything I own for one hour with you alone

Or if I could just be him for just one day

I can see everything in you...
