Newton-John, Olivia - If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics






If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
when you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The hero often fails
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'll walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Are bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say, I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

  1. R.... E....

    Olivia Newton-John is my greatest all time favourite, next to my idol Elvis Presley, but Olivia is so amazing and I can always listen to her amazing Angel like voice, that melts my heart everytime I hear her great voice, She sounds amazing, Long live Olivia Newton-John, I Love her dearly xx

    Olivia Newton-John has the voice of an Angel, Just sounds so very beautiful

  4. S.... 3....

    So beautiful and musically intuitive.

  5. A.... S....

    Her phrasing is one of a kind!

  6. A.... V....

    Gordon Lightfoot's song

  7. C.... S....

    Look what " they " did to her album cover, at .58_59 up to 58 her eye is scratched, leaving her with one eye (horus) of course by 3 lines. Then at 59 it disappears?? This, to me, just proves there's evil out there and it's everywhere.

  8. J.... J....

    So,So, So, beautiful to listening to and I love it

  9. g.... h....

    If you could read my mind, love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old-time movie
    About a ghost from a wishing well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet

    You know that ghost is me
    And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

    If I could read your mind, love
    What a tale your thoughts could tell
    Just like a paperback novel
    The kind that drugstores sell
    when you reach the part
    Where the heartaches come
    The hero would be me
    The hero often fails

    And you won't read that book again
    Because the ending's just too hard to take

    I'll walk away like a movie star

    I don't know where we went wrong
    But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

    I thought she did a weak performance. Being hot does nothing for my ears. only my eyes.

    S.... M....

    youre blind and deaf

    S.... M....

    Shane Miller Clean your ears first and with a little luck you will appreciate what a great voice is.

  23. M.... x....

    i Live his song

  24. H.... R....

    Well said. And may I add? You just reminded me of why I hate myself.

    I am undeserving of anyone's love.

    You might as well know... I was born to be alone. If I go out I get kissed by total strangers ( very unpleasant feeling).

    I'm always in trouble.

    I can't be a one woman man. While I please one, the other gets hurt.

    Realistically speaking, I am the loneliest person you will ever know.

    Men always want to fight me over their women. Someone somewhere always wants to kill me.

    And now you know.

    If I make a move, everyone will know about it.

    I have been trying to tell you...

    I have three daughters and they love me, and that is all that will ever be of me.

    Some people were born lucky; unfortunately, that's not me.

    I appreciate the song, but it made me feel completely sad, I'm sorry. I never meant the ending to be so painful.

    H.... R....

    that sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy. Did you always enjoy pain? or is it a new thing?

    H.... R....

    Hector Ramos I feel your pain...

  25. K.... W....

    I love Gordon, but Olivia sings the song with such passion and control. Sorry, Gordon. She has a beautiful voice to match your great lyrics.

    K.... W....

    sorry but this song should only be sung by Gordon lightfoot

    K.... W....

    Kristine Walker I agree. I respect Gordon’s version immensely. However, I prefer the feminine energy Olivia brought to this song. Can you imagine Karen Carpenter sing this? That would be phenomenal!

  26. B.... ....

    Unbelievable, what a fantastic talent

  27. J.... N....

    I love you forever Olivia I am brazilian fan your voice of Angel seduce me 😘

    J.... N....

    Brasileiros, estão por todos os lados

  28. K.... A....

    Remember the greatest one that give me two lovely kids..... I love you honey

  29. R.... C....

    OLIVIA HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOTFEST SINGING VOICE IN THE WORLD!!!

  30. m.... s....

    Beautiful words & good vocalist .

  31. S.... A....

    She sings this song really well.
