Lyrics
IF THIS WERE A MOVIE
It was cold the night you left me
Walking down the subway stairs
Listening to the footsteps fade away
Pretending not to care
I shivered as I lingered
Peering down into the depths
Listening just one moment more
For non-returning steps
Chorus
And if this were a movie
you'd come running back to me
to say you couldn't live without my smile
And if this were a movie
instead of this... our sad reality
You'd have stayed forever
Not only for a while
It was long ago you left me
But my passion's still a flame
How I wish it could've fueled the fire
when life got in our way
But Destiny had other plans
and Fate was so unkind
to lead me straight into your arms
just to say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
I've always believed in happily ever after
so to bring you home to me
tell me do I have to
ask the stars to send you a sign
and click my heels three times...
(repeat chorus)
