IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND, LOVE
                        By Lucillus
                  Dedicated to heartache
     (Sung to the tune of "If you could read my mind")

           If you could read my mind, love,
          What a tale my thoughts could tell,
           Then you could see my pain, girl,
              And how it's a living hell.
        Wanting you so much, but afraid to say
               The feelings on my mind 
             For fear that you could find
          Those feelings that I have to share
     Might not be what you want to hear right now.

           If you could read my mind, love,
             Then I hope that you can see
              Whatever else might happen
               You can always run to me.
          If I seem sometimes to be far away
                 Remember this for me:
               It's been so long since I
         Have had the chance to feel this way
   I still don't know the right things I should say.
            But if you smiled into my eyes
          Then maybe I'd be braver so I'd say
               That I love you so much.
         I never thought I could feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just can't take it.
            All my dreams and all my hopes
       Are all tied up in what you have to say.

           If you could read my mind, love,
             Maybe then you'd understand,
            Then you would come back to me,
          And let me know just where I stand.
     Waiting here for you to decide your feelings
                  It can be so hard,
 And I can only hope that maybe someday you could see
      What I feel and you'd feel the same for me.

           If you could read my mind, love,
     What a tale my thoughts could tell...........
