If Only I Could

About If Only I Could

"If Only I Could" is a 1989 song by American-German singer Sydney Youngblood. It is his debut single and it also became his biggest hit. Released as the lead single from his album, Feeling Free, the song was composed by Claus Zundel, a producer of multi-million selling projects Sacred Spirit and B-Tribe. It was released on vinyl, audio cassette and compact disc, and is now considered Youngblood's signature song, still popular with many of his fans. The song reached number-one in Belgium and was a top 3 hit in many countries, including UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. In the UK, it was the 11th best-selling single of 1989. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "If Only I Could" reached number 4. Outside Europe, it peaked at number 28 in New Zealand and number 122 in Australia. In the song, Youngblood evokes "the world of brotherhood and love that he would like to create 'if only he could'". This utopian humanism is "very uncommon in the songs devoted to nightclubs". "If Only I Could" used the bassline and drumbeat from the Raze house track "Break 4 Love". The music video for the single features Youngblood bouncing around a ball that resembled the earth, while donning urban clothing and traditional African clothing. more »

Everybody all around the world, stand up all my brothers
Joining our hands, united we're stronger
Fighting for peace, caring about our loved ones
Trusting ourselves, sharing our feeling, believe me

If only I could I'd make this world a better place
If only I could I'd make this world a better place

Oh believe me, believe
Believe me, believe, if only I could

I think about the implications when alone between the sheets
When all the huggin' and kissin' is tearin' my heart apart
All people standin' hand in hand, celebratin' all different colours
Joining together, sharing their feelings, please believe me

Oh believe me, believe
Believe me, believe

If only I could I'd make this world a better place
If only I could I'd make this world a better place

If only I could

Mmm believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe

If only I could I'd make this world a better place
If only I could I'd make this world a better place
If only I could I'd make this world a better place
If only I could I'd make this world a better place
