Sometime after George's first wife obtains a divorce in Reno, George asks Amelia once again it she would marry him, promising that he won't make the same mistakes he made in his first marriage.

“IF YOU WERE MINE"

She’s gone and not coming back I have to face the fact
That no purpose is served re-living memories of her.
I’ve been so deeply sad for a very long time
but I’ve hidden my pain under mountains of work

CHORUS:
If you were mine you could take away the pain
I know in time I won't make the same mistakes in my life
Oh_ If you were mine, if you were mine, oh_ if you were mine

I’ll pay attention this time Learned my lesson in pain
I once I had a great plan, thought I could control my fate
Found out I was wrong .
With her it’s too late.
With you I‘d start again
and find us better days

CHORUS:
If you were mine you could take away the pain
I know in time I won't make the same mistakes in my life
Oh_ If you were mine, if you were mine, oh_ if you were mine

I'll paint your world with broad strokes,
rainbow colors and hues,
gems from Moroccan bazaars, silks you don't need, you'll find a use

CHORUS:
If you were mine you could take away the pain
I know in time I won't make the same mistakes in my life
Oh_ If you were mine, if you were mine, oh_ if you were mine
