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 goin' 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
