Sobre el álbum
El disco If Only My Heart Had A Voice, de 1993, continúa la senda del country contemporáneo de principios de los 90. En este trabajo, Kenny Rogers interpreta una colección de canciones de algunos de los mejores compositores de Nashville de la época.
Así pues, el álbum tiene un sonido pulido y radiable, en sintonía con el "new country" que triunfaba en ese momento. De hecho, las canciones a menudo tienen estribillos potentes y una producción muy cuidada.
Por consiguiente, "If Only My Heart Had A Voice" es un trabajo que muestra a un Kenny Rogers veterano pero todavía con un gran olfato para la buena canción, un disco que lo mantiene como una figura relevante en la escena de Nashville.

Letra
I live for the phone I die for the mail I took your picture right off the nail And put it right by my bed So I could see you instead Of the darkness of night. I hold conversations with you in my mind They only tighten this knot deep inside And the aching won't end 'Til I hold you again If I only suvive. Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you. I started a letter, I stared at your name There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain There was no sound at all But the slow lonely fall Of an unspoken tear. Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you. Life may take us In different directions But I always end up deeper Deeper in my true affection. Why did you have to go Why am I missing you so One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind Missing you, missing you... - She Waits
- Ol´ Red
- If I Were You
Letra
You've got it made, you've got real love Something you don't find every day Someone to trust, someone to lean on Something I would hold on to, if I were you. You've got it made, you've got no one You don't have those strings to tie you down You come and go free as the wind blows If I wouldn't settle down too soon, if I were you. If I were you, I'd be satisfied Oh, I'm sure the grass is greener on the other side If I were you, I'd stay by her side (I'd be running wild) I would never leave her That's what I would do if I were you. If I were you, I'd be satisfied Oh, I'm sure the grass is greener on the other side If I were you, would I rather be (would I rather be) Someone just like me I wouldn't change a single thing if I were you... - Wanderin´ Man
- Reason To Go
- If You Were The Friend
Letra
F I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad 'cos tonight I've just lost the Best friend I've ever had You were a maverick running all Away from New Orleans We'd tell stories 'round the Campfire late at night When it was down to just you and me. Good friend, why did you have to go? Just when I was getting to know you I'll sing this song to show You were a good friend They don't make 'em quite like you And in my memory You'll always be a good good friend to me. You said I got a home, boy Haven't seen it for so long Said I'm going home, boy My work is done I can feel it in my bones. Good friend, why did you ...... - If Only My Heart Had A Voice
