Ian Perry - If Only It Were True (I'd Be Here With You) Lyrics

Some spoke of new tomorrows
When all the earthly sorrows
Would hold themselves
At arms length away
And all the pain and strife
Would vanish from this life
And only love and laughter would remain
If only it were true
I'd be here with you

Now, down the riverbank we'd pass our time
Throwing out another line
Underneath the sunshine
Streaming through the trees
And as night fell on these hills
We'd look towards the starry skies
And see our homes in paradise
Blazing from the blue
And if only it were true
I'd be here with you

In the funeral parlour I was told
There were places for the brave and bold
Somewhere nice and not too cold
For them to rest their bones
And one of them he spoke to me
With a message from eternity - he said
"Some get lost and others free
But down here its all the same"
And if only it were true
I'd be here with you...
