about

This is a song is one of my top 5s. It's a song of questions. The what ifs. What kind of feelings would come rushing up when you see that memory walking towards you on a crowded street or in an airport. Sometimes all it takes is a touch that brings it all back..
I had the 1st line and verse for a long time and I tried to let the rest of the song come to me over the years. I knew what I wanted to say but it never made a full circle till I took the idea to Kirsti Manna. She's responsible the chorus. Then the song seemed to write itself. We finished it in an afternoon.
Some of these questions have not been answered and some have...

lyrics

If I Saw You Today
(JB, K Manna)

If I saw you today
I might turn and walk away
Cause I don't know
If I can make it past hello
And if your eyes met mine
Would the strength be hard to find?
To keep my heart at bay
and find the right words to say
If I saw you today.

And if I took your hand?
Would you remember who I am?
Find the nerve to hold on
Past the point of too long
Could you leave your touch behind?
and let the memory unwind
It doesn't matter where I stand
Old lovers can't demand
If I took your hand

It's amazing how two hearts can beat as one
And then can't get past that first hello
before old feelings start to run

(Solo)

It's amazing how two hearts can beat as one
And then can't get past that first hello
before old feelings start to run


If I Saw you Today
Would you call out my name?
And then stop and look at me
And see what use to be?
Would it only hurt a little while?
If I saw your smile?
I wish that dream would go away
And you could take it’s place
If I saw you today

I wish that dream would go away
And you could take it’s place
If I saw you today

about

jonathan birchfield Charlotte, North Carolina

From the foothills of NC Jonathan has been entertaining and turning heads for 35 years. Think of Keith Richards and Merle Haggard jaming with Lynyrd Skynyrd. In an over saturated world of “bro-country”, country outlaw wannabes, JB has remained true to the roots of his musical past. JBs music has been described as an in your face, southern country, roots rock, from the southern heartland. ... more
