Steve Wariner - What If I Said? Lyrics

We've been friends for a long, long time.
You tell me your secrets, and I tell you mine.
She's left you all alone, and you feel like no one cares,
But I have never failed you; I've always been there.
You tell your story, it sounds a bit like mine,
It's the same old situation, it happens every time.
Can't we see, oh, maybe you and me,
Is what's meant to be or do we disagree?

What if I told you?
What if I said that I love you?
How would you feel?
What would you think?
What would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line,
Between your heart and mine?
Or would I lose a friend,
Or find a love that would never end?
What if I said?

She doesn't love you, oh, it's plain to see.
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me.
He doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held.
How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself?

What if I told you?
What if I said that I love you?
How would you feel?
What would you think?
What would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line,
Between your heart and mine?
Or would I lose a friend,
Or find a love that would never end?
What if I said?

Oh, we've both had our share of loneliness.
So who's to say that we can't have a little happiness?
And if I found that in you,
It would make my dreams come true.
Or would you walk away?
Hear what I have to say.

What if I told you? What if I said that I love you?
How would you feel? What would you think?
What would we do?

Instrumental break.

Do we dare to cross that line, between your heart and mine?
I've always wondered from the day we met:
What if I said.
What if I said?
Ooooh, what if I said.
