If Only lyrics

If only I'd ever listened

To all of my closest friends,

And knew that it was over

And the party had to end.

If only, I'd have noticed

The sadness in your eyes,

She'd still be in my arms tonight

If only.

If only I'd have realized

The unimprotance of being cool,

To give a kiss,

Maybe just say,

"Darling I love you."

If only I'd said I'm sorry

I'd have been a much better man,

She'd still be in my arms tonight,

If only.

There's an emptiness

That fills my heart

Now that she's not here.

I loved her more than my own life,

Something I've always feared,

If only.

If only I'd come home at night

Instead of stayin' out for one more drink,

If only I'd been unconcerned

What the other guys may think,

If only I'd held her tight,

But I guess it's too late now.

Oh how blind can one man be,

If only.

Whoa but I will not be sad

After all the fun we've had.

You live some

And you learn some, if only.

If only I could convince her

The importance of one more chance,

If only God would allow me

One more celestial dance,

If only I have the nerve

To call her up and tell her how I feel,

She'd still be in my arms tonight,

If only.

But it's only love

And love ain't real,

It's only a four letter word.

We spend half our lives chasing after it,

How wonderf'ly absurd,

If only.

Oo whoa but I will not be sad

After all the fun we had.

You live some and you learn some,

Whoa but I will not be sad

After all the fun we had.

You live some and you learn some,

You learn some. if only.

If only I'd come home at night

Instead of stayin' for one more drink
