If I could only tell you,
would you be surprised to know?
And if I was just an also -thang,
and you just won the show
And if I was selling door -to -door,
an d you had all the time
And if I could only tell you,
would it all come out the same?
Cause there's a reason and
a feeling in my soul
And there's a reason for
me being here alone
And there's a reason for
me calling it my home
And I hope you know, you know
If I was just a monument,
would you take a chance on me?
And if I was sparing out my life,
and you wrote songs for free
And if I'd been hiding all day long,
and you just guessed my name
And if I could only tell you,
would it all come out the same?
Cause there's a reason
and a feeling in my soul
And there's a reason for me
be ing here alone
And there's a reason for
me calling in the hall
And I hope you know, you know
Like the sunlight through a
shadow falling free
In the one light, in a thousand,
it was me
If I could be the man in black,
would you let me play the part?
And if I was in a constant dream,
would you know quite where to start?
And if I was just an autograph
Then you could call the game
And if I could only tell you
Would it all come out the same?
