verse
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
keeping myself to myself
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
living with somebody else
If you should change your mind.
If you would turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be.
At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair
I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end.
If only I could change your mind,
If only you would change.
If I had the chance I'd do it all again, I would do it all again.

verse
I remember windy shores on melancholy days
drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
taking it all in my stride
If you should change your mind.
If I could let you see what lies behind.
If you could need me the way it used to be.
Even for a moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then.
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again. Ohhh,
Oh, if I could change your mind.
Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away
Oh, if only I could change your mind.
Final lead
If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
