"If It Can't Come True," is a song about finding the perfect love and worrying it won't last. 

From Rick: "This song was done during the 'Missing Years' when Janis and I lost our last record deal and disappeared into the studio for seven years."
For listeners, this is one of the singer-songwriter couple's more beautiful songs. It's a 'must hear.'

LYRICS:
You've given my dreams new reason to exist
I've never wanted anything as bad as I want this
I wake up at night and all I can think of is you
But don't show me somethin' I can't live without
Don't say that you love me if there's any doubt
Don't make me keep wishin' for you
If it can't come true
Time stands still when we're apart
I don't think I've ever fallen this hard
I can't even breathe each time I look in your eyes
But don't open doors just to close them again
Don't leave me on the outside just lookin' in
Don't make me keep wishin' for you
If it can't come true
If you're not stayin' go on and go
But I can't go on until I know
You're breakin' my heart so make up your mind
And just lay it all on the line
But don't show me somethin' I can't live without
Don't say that you love me if there's any doubt
Don't make me keep wishin' for you
If it can't come true
