Story Behind The Song
My co-writer sent me the lyrics through the mail. I hadn't asked her what inspired the song. At the time I wrote the melodies, it was after a long ordeal of emotional storms. I later found out she wrote the words for a friend who was terminal. The lyrics could be for a friend or loved one.

Lyrics
IF I COULD
BY MARY GODFREY & CHRIS HANSEN You hide, your scared,
always saving grace
You always try to make everything
seem like satin & lace
The ace was in the deck but love dealt you the spade
You just need to remember, that with love, it will fade
C: If I could take your pain............I would
If I could make it better.... again.... I would
Just lean on me, don't feel alone
Our love will always make you feel at home, Feel at home
When I comfort you, let me make you smile
Wrapped in my warmth, love holding us all the while
If I could take your pain, I would.
If I could take your pain, I would.
If I could, I would
