Lyrics If I Were Only Her Tonight - Janie Fricke

You hold me close
But not too close
As the band plays soft and low
There's a faraway look in your eyes
As we dance across the floor

The love you knew, has a hold on you
Even after all this time
And it may be wrong, but just one thing
Keeps going through my mind

If I were only her tonight
The fantasies could come to light
At least until the morning light
When you take me in your arms

Oh, just once, if I could be
The one you want, instead of me
Everything would be so right
If I were only her tonight

And so we dance, another dance
As the music softly plays
We smile and say the kind of things
Old friends often say

But, all the time you're holding me
You hold her in your mind
Would I give everything I got
To be her just one time

If I were only her tonight
The fantasies could come to light
At least until the morning light
When you take me in your arms

Oh, just once, if I could be
The one you want, instead of me
Everything would be so right
If I were only her tonight
If I were only her tonight
