David Nail If I Could Call
[Verse 1]
If I could call
I probably wouldn't be all that honest
At least not right away
If I could call
I'd ask you to talk about Las Vegas
You always had so much to say
I wouldn't tell you how I feel
I'd try my best to smile
And pray the tears would hold back for a while
[Chorus]
If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Then I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
And I wouldn't be here wide awake
[Verse 2]
If I could call
You'd tell me when you were just a young one
You and Mamaw fell in love
If I could call
You'd say, "Boy, when you become a father
It's a gift from God above"
You'd say when mama was a baby
She'd never leave your side
And my mama was there again the day you died
[Chorus]
If I could call
Like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Then I would call
Just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
And I wouldn't be here wide awake
If I could call
[Verse 3]
If I could call
Wipe the tears away and say my only son
In the morning he'll be eight
If I could call
I'd tell you that the greatest thing I've ever done
Is give that boy your name
[Outro]
If I could call
Oh, if I could call
