What I Would Say - Rita Wilson

Living off of Sunset Boulevard

I’d see the lights I’d hear your car

I’d drive through parking lots and bars

I’d watch the phone I’d watch the door

I prayed your name out to the shore

My head and heart always at war

I carry sunglasses on rainy days

A place to hide behind just in case

I know just how to cry

Won’t even have to try

I’ve practiced what to say when they say

Are you doing okay?

Maybe I’d find some grace

Say he’s in a better place

I hope I never have to find out

What I would say

What I would say

Your hello’s sound like goodbye

But you wer always meant to fly

I just hoped it would be in my sky

Still a boy out on th beach

Always just out of reach

The things you love you have to release

I’ve got the dress and I’ve got the shoes

Know who I’d call if I got the news

I know just how to cry

Won’t even have to try

I’ve practiced what to say when they say

Are you doing okay?

Maybe I’d find some grace

Say he’s in a better place

I hope I never have to find out

What I would say

What I would say

I carry sunglasses on rainy days

A place to hide behind just in case

I know just how to cry

Won’t even have to try

I’ve practiced what to say when they say

Are you doing okay?

Maybe I’d find some grace

Say he’s in a better place

I hope I never have to find out

What I would say

What I would say
