| If she only knew
|
| What I knew but couldn’t say
|
| If she could just see
|
| The part of me that I hid away
|
| If I could just hold her in my arms again
|
| And just say I love you
|
| But she’s gone away, maybe she’d stay
|
| If she only knew
|
| If she could just feel
|
| What I feel here in my heart
|
| She’d know it was real
|
| Pure and true right from the start
|
| But I’m just a man who didn’t understand
|
| What she was going through
|
| But she’s gone away, maybe she’d stay
|
| If she only knew
|
| And how, how did I let her get away
|
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| 'Cause love, love is so easy to feel
|
| But the hardest thing to say
|
| If she could just see (see)
|
| What I see when I close my eyes (close my eyes)
|
| All that I dream (dream)
|
| Surely she would realize
|
| But like a fool I waited much too long
|
| To let her know the truth
|
| She’s gone away, maybe she’d stay
|
| If she only knew
|
| Tell me, tell me
|
| How, how did I let her get away (tell me)
|
| 'Cause I guess that love
|
| Love is so easy to feel
|
| But the hardest thing to say
|
| Say, say, say, say
|
| If she only knew
|
| What I knew but could not say
|
| If she could just see
|
| The part of me that I hid away
|
| If I could just hold her in my arms again
|
| And just say I love you, I love you
|
| She’s gone away, maybe she’d stay
|
| If she only knew, if she only knew
|
| Maybe she’d stay but she ran away
|
| Why she had to go away
|
| 'Cause of what I didn’t say
|
| Don’t know what to do
|
| Oh God how I wish that she knew |
