If I could call
I probably wouldn't be all that honest
At least not right away if I could call
I'd ask you to talk about Las Vegas
You always had so much to say

I wouldn't tell ya how I feel
I'd try my best to smile
And pray the tears would hold back for awhile

If I could call like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Then I would call just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
And I wouldn't be here wide awake
If I could call

You'd tell me when were just a young one
You and Mammaw fell in love if I could call
You'd say, "Boy, when you become a father
It's a gift from God above"

You'd say when Momma was a baby
She'd never leave your side
And my Momma was there again the day you died

If I could call like I used to
If you were only just a phone call away
Then I would call just to hear you
You always had a way of making everything okay
And I wouldn't be here wide awake
If I could call

If I could call
I'd wipe the tears away and say my only son
In the morning he'll be eight
If I could call
I'd tell you that the greatest thing I've ever done
Is give that boy your name

If I could call
Oh, if I could call
