What Would I Do If I Could Feel lyrics[]
- What would I do
- If I could suddenly feel
- And to know once again
- That what I feel is real?
- I could cry
- I could smile
- I might lay back for a while
- Oh, tell me what
- What would I do if I could feel?
- What would I do
- If I could reach inside of me
- And to know how it feels
- To say I like what I see?
- Then I'd be more
- than glad to share
- All that I have inside of here
- And the songs
- My heart might bring
- You'd be more
- Than glad to sing
- And if tears should fall from my eyes
- Just think of all the wounds
- They could mend
- And just think of all the time
- I could spend
- Just being vuln'rable again
- Oh, tell me what
- What would I do?
- Oh, tell me what
- What would I do?
- Oh, tell me what
- What would I do
- If I could feel?
