If I Could Be There - Emmylou Harris

(Kieran Kane/Jamie O'Hara)

If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you 
This road I'm on is so far away 
Too far away 

If God would grant me wings to fly 
I'd be in your arms by and by 
If I could be there I'd be there tonight comforting you 

If I could be there I'd look in your eyes and say I love you 
These hills and highways between us now keep us apart 

If God would grant me wings to fly 
I'd be in your arms by and by 
If I could be there I'd look in your eyes and say I love you 

If I could be there I wouldn't have this pain in my heart 
Tomorrow I'll wake up with joy for the day 
Joy for the day 

If God would grant me wings to fly 
I'd be in your arms by and by 
If I could be there I wouldn't have this pain in my heart 

If I could be there
