If I had only known then what I know now
Could the person I've become find a way to keep you somehow?
With all that I've learned, oh, the things I'd do and say
To make you feel loved and want to stay.
If I had only known...
If I had only known the last time we made love....
Would be...the last time we'd make love...
I would hold you close and whisper to your heart
Just how much I loved you and hoped we'd never part
Oh, the gratitude I should have shown
If I had only known...
I was so young and naive, I thought you'd always care
I didn't know that love could die, I thought you'd always be there
So many times I left you alone...
Not giving you enough reason to stay at home
If I had only known....
And though my mind understands
what my heart refuses to know
That you're never coming back
Oh, how I miss you so...
If I had only known....
If I had only know the last time we made love...
'Would be the last time we'd make love...
I would hold you close and whisper to your heart
Just how much I loved you, and hoped we'd never part
Oh, the gratitude...I should have shown...
If I had only known....
