What if we'd stayed together?

What if we'd really tried?

Would we still be in Tennessee?

Would I have been your bride?

Would we be blessed with children?

Lovingly watching them grow

Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now

Is knowin' we'll never know

We'll never know how much we missed

By not taking love all the way

If we held on just a little bit longer

Where would we be today?

What if I'd been more giving

And a little less bent on success?

Would you have been more willing to wait

If I had answered yes?

Through the years I've often wondered

Why did we ever let go

Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now

Is knowin' we'll never know

We'll never know how much we missed

By not taking love all the way

If we held on just a little bit longer

Where would we be today?

For the rest of my life I wonder

Why did we ever let go?

Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now

Is knowin' we'll never know

Knowin' we'll never know
