From the recording What If
Lyrics
What if I changed my mind to take the bus
The Thursday I was in a rush,
Would it be so different now?
What if I never saw the advert
In the disregarded paper,
on the train at Manor House
What if I never sent the letter
Thought that I’d do something better,
Never left my comfort zone
What if I never got the interview
Decided that I’d start a new
Never got that job in Holborn
What if I made a left
What if I made a right
What if I looked your way
What if I passed you by
What if the time was right
And it was penned in the stars
What if the earth met Mars
What if I never made the party
The Friday that I met you
Through a friend I knew from work
What if I never made the phone call
Arranged another meeting,
would we ever have been hooked
What if we never went out on a date
What if I had turned up late
Where would we be now
What if I never bought that diamond ring?
Never bent down on my knee?
Never made all those promises
