If Only
[r. stewart, k. savigar, j. cregan]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 maybe 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
