Steve Wariner What If I Said Lyrics

We've been friends for a long, long time
You tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine
She's left you all alone and you feel like no one cares
But I have never failed you, I've always been there

You tell your story it sounds a bit like mine
It's the same old situation, it happens every time
Can't we see it? Oh maybe you and me
Is what's meant to be, but do we disagree?

What if I told you, what if I said, that I love you?
How would you feel? What would you think? What would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine?
Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end, what if I said?

She doesn't love you oh it's plain to see
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me
He doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held
How long can I go on keeping these feelings to myself? What if I told you, what if I said, that I love you?
How would you feel? What would you think? What would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine?
Or would I lose a friend or find a love that would never end, what if I said?

Oh we've both had our share of loneliness
So whose to say that we can't have a little happiness
And if I found that in you it would make my dreams come true
Or would you walk away? Hear what I have to say

What if I told you, what if I said, that I love you
How would you feel? What would you think? What would we do?

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine?
I've always wondered from the day that we met
What if I said? What if I said? What if I said?
