Glen Campbell If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics

If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics

If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

About a ghost from a wishing well



In a cast the dark of a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me and I won't ever be set free

As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see



If I could read your mind love

What a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paper back novel the kind

The drug stores sell



Then you reached the part where the heartaches come

The hero would be me but heroes often fail

And you won't read that book again

Because the ending's just too hard to take



I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a three way script enter number 2

A movie queen to play the scene

Of bringin' all the good things out in me



But for now love let's be real

I never thought I could feel this way

And I've got to say that I just don't get it

I don't know where we went wrong



But the feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back



If you could read my mind love



But stories always end and

If you read between the lines

You'd know that I'm just tryin'

To understand the feelin's that you lack



I never thought I could feel this way

And I've got to say that I just can't get it back
