If You Were with Me Now Lyrics

[Verse 1: Keith Washington, Kylie Minogue & Both]
Without you standing by my side
Love and good fortune passes me by
And you were my guiding light
It seemed so easy
when we said goodbye

[Chorus: Keith Washington, Kylie Minogue & Both]
How different would the world be now
If only we had worked it out somehow?
What kind of fools are you and I?
There would be stars up in the sky
If you were with me now


[Verse 2: Keith Washington, Kylie Minogue & Both]
And I know I may go astray
But who's to say that we can't change our mind? No, no, no, no
My love burns stronger each day
If I'm sure of one thing

One love at a time

[Chorus: Kylie Minogue, Keith Washington & Both]
How could we throw our love away
When we had so much more than words can say?
The darkest clouds would fade away
To bring the light into my day
If you were with me now

[Outro: Kylie Minogue, Keith Washington & Both]
If loving you is right
Then turn back the hands of time
I'd do anything to make you mine
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I could make you feel my love for you
If you were with me now
If you were with me now
(Tell me, tell me, tell me now)
If you were with me now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
