Intro: "Over the years, skilled writers and poets have used the imagery of the ocean as a metaphor for emotions too deep to express any other way. The song writers of our generation, who are the poets of our time, also turn to the sea for inspiration and expression. One of the best has taken these watery images and created a beautiful message of love. Her name is Laura Branigan."

"If I Were" - Lyrics by Laura Branigan.

"If I were a river
I'd flow into your heart
And, if I were a love song
You'd be the only part

And, if I were the winter's snow
Warm me gently, forming rain
I'd wish you were the deep dark earth
To swallow me again

And, if I were a rosebud
For you I'd open wide
And, if you were the ocean's pull
You know I'd be the ocean's tide

And, if you were the only star
Lost in a summer storm
I'd be the skies all through the night
To keep your starlight warm

And, if you were the ocean's sound
I'd be the ocean's song
And, if I opened up my heart
Would you keep me from the storm

And, if I were a river
I'd flow into your heart
And, if you'd be the ocean
They can't keep us apart."
