• If

• If we had done this, or if we had done that
• If we had a dog instead of a cat
• If we had gone out, or we had stayed in
• If we drunk champagne instead of the gin
• If we could have said the things that we mean
• If says a lot, or so it would seem
• If we had gone by air, or taken the car
• If maybe we had walked to there – how far
• If you hadn’t gone, why couldn’t you stay
• If only you hadn’t been called away
• If you could have told us the things that you knew
• Then we wouldn’t feel the way that we do
• If all that happens is to make us strong
• Maybe if could tell us why we belong
• If is a little big word with a curse
• If is a word that makes you feel worse
• If all the ifs were laid end to end
• How far would we get before we go round the bend
