Lyrics

If you only knew how in love with you
I have always been hopin' you'd give in
If you only knew
One would never guess what I must confess
But it's really so, though you may not know
You're my happiness
Fate has started a story so blind
You can make it the perfect rhyme
If you only knew what your love could do
You would say, "Okay, darling, lead the way"
If you only knew
Ah, fate has started a story so blind
You can make it the perfect rhyme
If you only knew what your love could do
You would say, "Okay, darling, lead the way"
If you only knew, if you only knew
Written by: Charlie Beal, Chick Webb
