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

And 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,

I said I'll pay, what can I say? If she only knew

If she only knew, if she only knew

Oh yeah
