If She Only Knew

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 say

If she'd 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

'Cause love, love is so easy to feel

But the hardest thing to say

If she could just see

What I see when I close my eyes

All that I 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 love, love is so easy to feel

But the hardest thing to say

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

(I love you)

She's gone away, maybe she'd stay

If she only knew, if she only knew
