If I Could

If I could capture time in my hands,
if I could halt the hourglass sands,
I would put an end to all but laughter
a smile on your face forever after.

If I could catch the feather blown by the breeze,
If I could heal the wound that starts to bleed,
I'd give a hand to the man under newspaper,
Do all I can have a word to my maker.

But first I'd
Freeze frame this moment with you
and make it last
You know I'd
Freeze frame this moment with you
so please slow down, down go so fast.

If I could stop the water from the sky
If I could hold back the morning tide
I'd shout out to the world on a loud speaker
the message of love is what I would teach you

Sounds coming from the underground
hearts leaving town I'd show
that I'd come running for you

If I could capture time in my hands
If I could halt the hourglass sands
I'd put an end to all but laughter
a smile on your face is all I'm after

If I could you know I would.
