"If I Had Only Known"
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a lifeline to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
And keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
And then there came a day when I
Turned my head, and you slipped away.
If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I pray a miracle to stop the dawn
And when you smiled at me
I would look into your eyes
And my sure you know my love for you
Goes on and on...
If I had only known.
If I had only known.
The love I would have shown,
If I had only known.
