Songwriters: KEITH WHITLEY

If I were alone in the desert 
Without a drink of water around 
With my knees and hands in that white scorching sand 
With the hot Sahara sun beating down 

If I could be granted my wishes 
And anything I want [bad word] [bad word] 
Well I know that it might sound funny 
But here's what I want you to do 

Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her 
Tell her everything would be okay if I could just see her 
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her 
And if I leave this whole world, tell her she's the only girl for me 

If I were a drift on the ocean 
vessel with no sails or steam 
Floating aimlessly on an endless sea 
Hopelessly lost it would seem 

If all of the fish in the water 
Could echo my last dying plea 
Well I know you might not understand it 
But here's what I want it to be 

Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her 
Tell her everything would be okay if I could just see her 
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her 
And if I leave this whole world, tell her she's the only girl for me 
And if I leave this whole world, tell her she's the only girl for me.
