Mary Chapin Carpenter
"What Would You Say To Me"


What would you say to me
What would you say to me
What would you say to me if we met one day

On the street of broken dreams
On the street of broken dreams
On the street of broken dreams not so far away

Would you offer me a smile
Would you offer me a smile
Would you stop and talk a while or would you walk away

Why would you want to see
Why would you want to see
Another tear from me, it's just a game you play

You're not the only one
You're not the only one
When all was said and done ,who had to hurt this way

Take a walk around the town
Take a walk around this town
Collar up and head down against the cold and grey

We're only strangers here.
We're just like strangers here.
Hearts full of ache and fear whispering come what may

Time only goes one way
Time only goes one way
Time only knows one way and it ain't come back
So when you remember me
So when you remember me
Some night tenderly, just remember that

What would you say to me
What would you say to me
What would you say to me, if we met one day
