If You Were with Me Now Lyrics
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
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
