If Only

(альбом: You Me & Us - 1999)

And so the time has come again for me to let you go
In every way it gets harder but my tears will never show
Sometimes I wish for a final goodbye but my heart can't take the pain
Of wanting, needing, searching for you
But you can't do the same

If only the time was right and I could mend your heart
If only it was yesterday and we could make a start
If only you could look at me the way you often do
And speak the words I'm sure I've felt
Baby I love you
I love you (Baby I love you)

You think she's stolen a piece of your heart
It's left you black and blue
But baby you can take it back
To yourself you must be true
You need someone to hold your heart
It's what you always say
When in time you let go of hers I will love your hurt away

If only the time was right and I could mend your heart
If only it was yesterday and we could make a start
If only you could look at me the way you often do
And speak the words I'm sure I've felt
Baby I love you
I love you (Baby I love you)
Baby I love you (love you)
I love you

So I'm gonna forget if only's
And soon the world will see
No matter the time, no matter the place
Baby we were meant to be
Baby we were meant to be
