If I Could Call

If I could call

I probably wouldn't be all that honest

At least not right away

If I could call

I'd ask you to talk about Las Vegas

You always had so much to say

I wouldn't tell ya how I feel

I'd try my best to smile

And pray the tears would hold back for awhile

If I could call

Like I used to

If you were only just a phone call away

Then i would call

Just to hear you

You always had a way of making everything okay

And I wouldn't be here wide awake

If I could call

You'd tell me when were just a young one

You and Mammaw fell in love

If I could call

You'd say boy when you become a father

It's a gift from God above

You'd say when Momma was a baby

She'd never leave your side

And my Momma was there again the day you died

If I could call

Like I used to

If you were only just a phone call away

Then I would call

Just to hear you

You always had a way of making everything okay

And I wouldn't be here wide awake

If I could call

If I could call

I'd wipe the tears away

And say my only son

In the morning he'll be eight

If I could call

I'd tell you that the greatest thing i've ever done

Is give that boy your name

If I could call

Oh If I could call
