"If I Could Change Your Mind"

The Alan Parsons Project

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

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

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
