If I Could

from Live At Zeb's by Dan Saulpaugh

lyrics

If I could be
your sunrise
you know I'd shine
brightest in your skies
and linger there
for just a little while

If I could be
your evening stars
you know I'd hide
all of the scars
from your skies
tonight

*

If I could be your heart
I can't say I'd be your better part
but I know you'd be the light around my dark
and together we could fall apart

'Cause love's just the name
that we use to justify this pain
and know I'm not the same
since I spoke your name

*

If I could be
the three hundred miles
that separates
my heart from your smile
I'd never be so far away again

If I could be
the time it takes
from when you leave
to when my heart breaks
I'd never leave your side
my love

*

If I could be your heart
I can't say I'd be your better part
but I know you'd be the light around my dark
and together we could fall apart

'Cause love's just the name
that we use to justify this pain
and know I'm not the same
since I spoke your name

*

Love I'm not
ready for you
because Love you're too
beautiful, beautiful

*

If I could be
your sunrise
you know I'd shine
brightest in your skies
and linger there
for just a little while

If I could be
your evening stars
you know I'd hide
all of the scars
from your skies
tonight

New York based singer-songwriter Dan Saulpaugh exists at the nexus of indie-folk and modern jazz, blending the emotional immediacy of Jeff Buckley's folk-as-art-music aesthetic with the harmonic richness of Wayne Shorter's '60s compositions. This acts as a jumping off point for his songs that explore the complexities of being in love and finding one's place spiritually in the world. ... more
