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 goin' 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

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
The price that I'll pay, what can I say?
If she only knew
If she only knew
If she only knew
Oh...ye
