Lyrics

[00:00.50] If You Could Read My Mind
[00:04.24] - Olivia Newton John
[00:07.58]
[00:08.79] If you could read my mind love,
[00:12.23] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[00:15.99] Just like an old time movie,
[00:19.56] Bout a ghost from a wishin well
[00:23.39] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[00:28.32] With chains upon my feet,
[00:32.41] You know that ghost is me.
[00:36.22] And I will never be set free,
[00:40.02] As long as I'm a ghost you cant see.
[00:45.36]
[00:48.88] If I could read your mind love,
[00:52.19] What a tale your thoughts could tell
[00:55.91] Just like a paperback novel,
[00:59.60] The kind the drugstore sell
[01:03.39] When you reach the part
[01:05.97] Where the heartaches come
[01:08.57] The hero would be me,
[01:12.20] Heroes often fail
[01:16.15] And you won't need that book again,
[01:19.65] Because the endings just too hard to take.
[01:24.12] (Music)
[01:39.36] I'd walk away like a movie star
[01:43.88] Who gets burned in a freeway script,
[01:47.99] Enter number two
[01:51.72] A movie queen to play the scene,
[01:55.42] Of bringing all the good things out in me
[02:00.95] But for now love lets be real,
[02:05.02] I never thought I could act this way
[02:08.49] And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
[02:13.05] I don't know where we went wrong
[02:16.08] But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back.
[02:20.79]
[02:28.49] If you could read my mind love,
[02:31.94] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[02:35.37] Just like an old time movie,
[02:39.33] Bout a ghost from a wishin well
[02:43.02] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[02:47.69] With chains upon my feet,
[02:51.81] The story always ends
[02:55.50] And if you read between the lines
[02:59.23] You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand
[03:04.72] The feelings that you lack
[03:08.70] I never thought I could feel this way
[03:12.26] And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
[03:16.57] I don't know where we went wrong
[03:19.78] But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back
[03:25.42]
[03:34.48]
