If she only knew, what I
knew but could not say
If she could just see
that part of me I hid away
If I could just hold her
in my arms again
And just say 'I love
you'
What can I say, maybe
she'd stay, if she only
knew

If she could just feel,
what I feel here in my
heart
She'd know it was real,
going true right from the
start
But I'm just a man who
didn't understand
What she was going
through
She's gone away, maybe
she'd stay, if she only
knew

How? How did I let her
get away?
Love, love is so easy to
feel, but the hardest word
to say

If she could just see,
what I see when I close my
eyes
She's all that I dream,
surely she would realize
But like a fool I waited
much too long
To let her know the
truth
She's gone away. maybe
she'd stay, if she only
knew

How? How did I let her
get away?
Love, love is so easy to
feel, but the hardest word
to say

If she only knew, what I
knew but could not say
If she could just see
that part of me that I hid
away
If I could just hold her
in my arms again
And just say 'I love
you'
She's gone away, maybe
she'd stay, if she only
knew

Only knew
My world is gray, each
night I pray, she only knew
That she only knew
The price that I'll pay,
what can I say?
If she only knew
If she only knew
If she only knew
Oh...yeah
