If I Believed - Patti Austin

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 ifI 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 ifI believed in paradise

I’d swear I’m there

I’m there

I’m there

if I believed
