If I Want You Now - Steve Forbert

Who took your hand

When I had nothing to say?

Who brushed your tears away?

Who heard your cries?

When I had no time to spare?

Who came on wings that day?

Look, if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

And if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

Darling…

Turn down your street

And try to moonage daydream

Turn up your soundtrack high;

Turn back weird years

And fly to champagne rain days

Turn down your bed and sigh

'Cause if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

And if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

Darling…

Who’s built his world

Around your green eyed laugh lines?

Who wakes each day to find

Love’s filled his heart

With light like no known past times

And mixed his need with mine?

Look, if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

And if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

And if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

And if I want you now

It’s 'cause I only want what I can’t have

Darling…
