I'm Rather It Was You Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon) 

Tonight the sun went down in flames 

And the moon rose up in blue 

Heaven spoke and called my name 

But I'm rather it was you 

I'm rather it was you 

I'm rather it was you to hold me like the child 

That I never was 

I'm like for you to carry me across 

I'm rather it was you 

Because... 

I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl 

That I've never been 

I'm like to feel your breath upon my skin 

I'm like to feel it finally beginning... 

Chorus

One will fit just like a glove 

Two will feel like brand new 

But you are all these things and more 

And I'm rather it was you 

I'm rather it was you
