Laying in my bed at night
Wishing for things that will never be
If Only . . .
I could stare into your eyes
Instead of an empty pillow next to me
If Only . . .
I could feel you breathing
While I watch you sleep
Gently snuggled in your arms
Gasping a happy sigh of relief
If Only . . .
I could see your smile
As my body tenderly touches yours
If Only . . .
I could wake up every morning
Next to the man I adore
If Only . . .
I could feel your heart beat
Pounding in rhythm with mine
Instead of these visions of you
That occupy my body, soul & mind
If Only . . .
My reality could be
More like my thoughts & dreams
Then nothing would ever be
As difficult as it seems
If Only . . .
I could just tell you
All my heart has to say
But my mouth is speechless
. . . Afraid of driving you away
If Only . . .
In my waking hours
You could ever feel as much for me
If Only . . .
I knew how you felt
Instead of loving you secretly
If Only . . .
I could get my courage up
And find the right words for you to hear
If Only . . .
You could read my thoughts
To know I'm being genuinely sincere
If you could only feel my love
Or . . .If Only . . .
I could feel your love for me
Then I'd be the happiest woman alive
Instead of a woman with . . .
"If Only!"
