Topic: "What If"

This song is about how I met and fell in love with my wife. I, at first, didn’t realize I met the woman I’d always wished for, the woman of my dreams. I also realized that I would not have changed the circumstances that led me to the life I now have although some of my experiences were painful to take at the time.

What If By Jeff Gilpin


May 1st, 2008




Verse 1


[D]What if your


[C]Wish came true


And you didn’t [D]know


You [D]might go on


Just [C]like before


Clueless not knowing it was [D]so




Chorus

[G]If your [C]wish came [D]true


[G]What [C]would you [D]do


[G]If it [C]was a [D]mystery


[G]To[C] [A]you [A7]




Verse 2


[D]What if your


[C]Wildest dream


Came true before your [D]eyes


[D]Would you


[C]Recognize


Or would it be a big sur[D]prise




Chorus

[G]If your [C]dream came [D]true


[G]Right in [C]front of [D]you


[G]Take a[C]way the [D]mystery


[G]What [C]would you [A]do [A7]





Verse 3


[D]If I could


Go [C]back in life


Make life turn out a different [D]way


[D]I’m not sure


[C]If I would


Cheat myself out of to[D]day




Chorus

[G]If I could [C]go back in [D]time


[G]Maybe a[C]venge a [D]crime


I [G]think I’d [C]pass because I [D]could


[G]Mess up [C]what’s already [A]mine [A7]




Verse 4


[D]I don’t wish


Or [C]dream too much


I’m satisfied with my [D]lot


And [D]I would not


Go [C]back in time


I like the life I [D]got




Chorus

[G]I don’t [C]think I ever [D]could


[G]Back in [C]my child[D]hood


[G]Ever have i[C]magined in my [D]wildest dream


[G]My life with [C]you…so [G]good [A] [D]

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: "What If"

Thanks Daddy and Phill - I am lucky I found satisfaction by this point in life. I know quite a few still out there looking and I would be in a sorry state if I hadn't met my wife early on.

Re: "What If"

Lovely song Jets.

Ive met mine also but, im not married to him. Nor do i have any desire to be. I guess id be afraid to spoil a good thing.
Sure wish i could have met him first time round. Ah bliss. I guess ill never know. lol

Happy Old Doll.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: "What If"

Thanks Lena - I do know I'm lucky meeting mine when I did. Because of her I want to be better at everything I do, if that makes sense.
