G
If I were alone in the desertWith
C
out a drink of water a
G
roundOn
C
my knees and hands in that
G
white, scorching sandWith the hot Sahara sun beating
D
downIf
G
I could be granted my wishesIf
C
anything I want could come
G
true
C
I know that it might sound
G
funnyBut
D
here’s what I’d want you to
G
do
Chorus:Tell Lorrie I
C
love herTell Lorrie I
G
need herTell her
D
everything would be okayIf I could just
G
see herTell Lorrie I
C
love herTell Lorrie I
G
need herIf I
Am
leave this old worldTell her
D
she’s the only girl for
G
me
2nd verse:
If I were adrift on the ocean
A vessel with no sails or steam
Floating aimlessly on and endless sea
Hopelessly lost it would seem
If all of the fish in the water
Could echo my last dying plea
I know you might not understand it
But here’s what I’d want it to be
If I leave this old world
Tell her she’s the only girl for me
It’s too bad Lorrie (Morgan) didn’t believe him; if she had
Keith Whitley might still be with us today.
