Glen Campbell If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

In a cast the dark of a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me and I won't ever be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paper back novel the kind
The drug stores sell

Then you reached the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script enter number 2
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringin' all the good things out in me

But for now love let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong

But the feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love

But stories always end and
If you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm just tryin'
To understand the feelin's that you lack

I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just can't get it back
