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 life line to my heart Underneath the thunder we'd be safe 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 ever said And on those lonely nights I could think of them once more 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 beleived 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 to stop the dawn And when you 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 The love I would have shown If I had only known....
