about

If only songwriters could earn dollars for the simple occupational hazard of falling in love. You get good enough at something and you can earn money at it, right?

lyrics

If I Had A Dollar (Kirsty McGee)

So strange, so strange
so strange to want something so strange
so near so near
so why does it seem to disappear

So sweet, so sweet
so sweetly we kissed,and so light
but if I had a dollar for every time I fell
I’d be a rich woman tonight

So you say, so you say
so you say and I guess that it’s true
No sense in lying anyway
when love’s a part of it
the very heart of it

So strange, so strange
so strange to want something so new
but if you had a dollar for every time I dreamed
you’d be a rich man too

Oh I had a dream such a pretty one
one everyone would take pity on
eyes wild and free slowly smiling at me
Oh but dreams are just dreams are just dreams are just dreams

You held me tight
Softly we kissed and so light
but if I had a dollar for every time I dreamed
I’d be a rich woman tonight
