“If I Had Only Known: To you I gave my deepest heart, Your wish was my command; And when you needed love, I offered you my hand. My moments were completely yours, I lived to make you happy; Because I thought our love would live, Forever and a day. Your sweet embrace was paradise, Your kiss beyond compare; And though the things I pen seem trite, They're meant to show I care With you beside me it was like, A shange and magic dream; No trial or trouble was too great, We had a winning team. But then you took your love away, And filled my skies with rain; There are no words to set apart, A broken hearts great pain. And so I reminisce and write, regretful, and alone, I would have done quite differently, If I had only known.”
