If Only Lyrics

If only I could change the world
With just a simple song
If only I could keep my words
From coming out all wrong
If only I could make you see another point of view
If only wishes would come true
If only once upon a time
Could be the here and now
If only make-believe could make
Believers of us all
If only I could touch the dream
So deep inside of you
If only wishes would come true
If only, if only,
Wishes would come true
If only, if only,
I could get to you
Maybe we could make a wish come true
If only I could change your heart
With just a simple song
If only I could stop the world
From turning out all wrong
If only everybody wished
The same things that I do
There would be hope for me and you
If only wishes would come true

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.
