lyrics

If there was a way we could trade places
Or turn back the hours of time;
I’d pawn all that I had
For a few extra minutes
Or just give you some of mine.

If there was a way to ease the sadness
Or stop it from happening at all;
I’d hand over my freedom,
my world possessions,
To still have you in my life.

I would have given it all
given it all
given it all
for you

If there was a way I could send a letter
and write request to god.
I’d lay out the facts
You’re presence is requested
And actually I need you back

If there was a market where we could barter
or swop all our talents for time;
Id bid for a week,
sing for a year,
Borrow a clock,
hustle for hours,
move the sun,
freeze the tide,
do all that it took, just to give you more time.

I would have given it all
given it all
given it all
for you.
