If You Were Mine Lyrics

When my heart is troubled and I am weighed down
Then I like to think of how this lonesome world would be
If I could see your face or hold you in my arms
If you were mine, if you were mine

If you had a bad dream I would jump inside it
And I would fight for you with all the strength that I could find
I would lead you home by your tiny hand
If you were mine, if you were mine

I would sing of love on the blackest night
I would sing of God, and how his goodness fills our lives
I would sing to you 'til the morning light
If you were mine, if you were mine
I would sing to you 'til the morning light
If you were mine, if you were mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
