If I Had Only Known

If I had only known

It was the last walk in the rain

I'd keep you out for hours in the storm

I would hold your hand

Like a lifeline to my heart

Underneath the thunder, we'd be warm

If I had only known

It was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known

I'd never hear your voice again

I'd memorize each thing you've ever said

And on those lonely nights

I could think of them once more

And keep your words alive inside my head

If I had only known

I'd never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand

You were the one who always stood beside me

So unaware

I foolishly believed that you would always be there

But then there came a day and I turned my head

And you slipped away

If I had only known

It was my last night by your side

I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn

And when you'd smile at me

I would look into your eyes

And make sure you know my love

For you goes on and on

If I had only known

If I had only known

Oh, the love I would've shown

If I had only known
