I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways  Keepin' myself to myself  Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away  Livin' with somebody else    If you should change your mind  If you would turn around and look behind  If you could see me the way I used to be  At the risk of bringin' back the sorrow and despair    I would do it all again  Holding on to memories and pretending not to care  Knowing that the show was soon to end    If only I could change your mind  If only you would change  If I had the chance I'd do it all again  I would do it all again    I remember windy shores on melancholy days  Drifting along with the tide  And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways  Takin' it all in my stride    If you should change your mind  If I could let you see what lies behind  If you could need me the way it used to be    Even for a moment of the happy times we shared  Living in my dreams since then  At the risk of losing only castles in the air  Come with me and we can try again    Ohh, oh if I could change your mind  Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away  Oh, if only I could change your mind    If I could change your mind  If I could change your mind  If I could change your mind
