Patti Austin
"If I Believed"

if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I must be there
I'd swear I must be there right now with you
if I believed in miracles
I'd know that one was happening to me
but if I don't believe in paradise
and miracles aren't real
then someone tell me
what is this I feel
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
but with you I can't deny
that if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
if I believed in magic spells
it all would be so clear
a magic spell must have brought you here
if I could see the future
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
but I don't know any magic
and tomorrow's just a dream
then something in this fantasy is real
(repeat chorus)
I wanna believe it's love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
I wanna believe it's love
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
but with you I can't deny
that if I believed in paradise
I'd swear I'm there
I'm there
I'm there
if I believed
