If I Want You Now Lyrics - Steve Forbert

Who took your hand 

When I had nothing to say? 

Who brushed your tears away? 

Who heard your cries? 

When I had no time to spare? 

Who came on wings that day? 

Look, if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have 

And if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have, 

Darling... 

Turn down your street 

And try to moonage daydream, 

Turn up your soundtrack high; 

Turn back weird years 

And fly to champagne rain days, 

Turn down your bed and sigh 

'Cause if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have 

And if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have, 

Darling... 

Who's built his world 

Around your green eyed laugh lines? 

Who wakes each day to find 

Love's filled his heart 

With light like no known past times 

And mixed his need with mine? 

Look, if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have 

And if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have 

And if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have 

And if I want you now 

It's 'cause I only want what I can't have, 

Darling...
