"If Only"

If Only

By: R. A. Cvetich

If only I was a little bolder
If only we were a little older
If only life would not get in the way
If only we could be alone
If only you were all my own
If only I’d be with you every day

Then maybe I could at last finally see
The coming true of my one fantasy:

CHORUS
I’d see you down on one knee
Asking “will you marry me?”
Kissing you as I say “yes”
Finding the key to happiness
You’d be holding me so tight
Your arms around me every night
And never again would I be lonely
Baby, if only…

If only I had the words to say
If only we could run away
If only you were standing at my door
If only life was not so cold
If only I was yours to hold
If only you were mine forevermore

Then maybe I could see what is so right
The dream that I wish was real every night:

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
Every morning when I’d rise
I’d look into those deep blue eyes
Lying right there next to me
Right where you were meant to be
I’d know I’d never felt such bliss
As I give you a gentle kiss
“To have and to hold”
One day our story will unfold:

I’ll see you down on one knee
Asking “will you marry me?”
I’ll kiss you as I say “yes”
We’ll find the key to happiness
You’ll be holding me so tight
Your arms will be around me every night
And never again will I be lonely

Baby, if only…
