Discover the story of the song > If I Could Only Change Your Mind – Al Jarreau

In this song, the protagonist is talking about his partner leaving him. He compares love to a stranger who doesn't have anything else to say. He wants his partner to stay and not leave him alone in bed. He wishes he could change his partner's mind so that they can find love again and make it last forever. The minutes feel slow, like soldiers creeping through the night, and his heart is hurt as love fights to survive. Even though there is a harmonica solo, the chorus repeats the same message: the protagonist wants to change his partner's mind and make their love never end.
