If only I'd have 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 her eyes.
She'd still be in my arms tonight,
if only.
If only I'd have realized
the unimportance of being cool.
To give a kiss and may be just say :
"Darlin' 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 a held her tight
but I guess it's too late now.
Oh how blind could one man be,
if only.
Whoa, Oh 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 had 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 'lly absurd,
if only.
Whoa, 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 that we had.
You live some and you learn some,
you learn some,
if only.
