If You Believed

If you believed in me
I could catch your fears
In these tear-stained hands
And they would disappear
I would lie with you
Share your dreams at night
And your beating heart
Would become my guide

If you believed in me
If you believed in me

If you believed in me
I'd be your substitute
I would bear your cross
Down these avenues
We could not ignore
We could never outrun
We could not betray
All that love had done

If you believed in me
If you believed in me

I know someday
We'll find our way
Believe in me

If the seconds become moments
Captured, frozen in time
Words without meaning
Poems without rhyme
I would stand by your side

If you believed in me
If you believed in me
If you believed in me
If you believed in me

I would stand by your side
Until your tears dissolved
In this broken heart of mine
If you believed in me
If you believed in me
