If I Had More Time

about

I was thinking about a structure like, "If I had [this], then I would [that], which I was all excited about until I realized that "If I Had a Hammer" renders anything like that into an imitation, unless I could somehow improve on of Bruce Cockburn's "If I Had a Rocket Launcher". The problem with making new songs up is there are a lot of really good ideas already taken. Given enough time, though. . .

If I Had More Time
Music and Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone
©2009 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP 8/13/09


If I had more time
I could do much more than this
If I had my way
I would do it better
If I were sure
I could read the signs
I have no doubt
it would work out
before too long

If I refused
to be blaming anyone
and I began
to just do what I could
it might be hard
not to lose the way
but I know why
I'd want to try
maybe that's o.k.

All right, Oh, hey
these thoughts come to me
in this way

When you were here
I don't think I handled it well
I felt afraid
and that messed me up a little bit
If I knew then
what I see now
I would be calm
'cause nothing's that wrong
anyhow

When I have help
I feel capable of anything (sometimes)
When we have hope
that changes everything
If we can try and we keep on
Then I am sure we will endure
what comes along

If we give it time
If we take time
If we just take time
If we have time
If we have ti. . .me
