if only



If only I could see you again, one hour, one moment, one second, I would take your hand, and never let it go, I would follow you into the brilliant sunset, walk into another land.  If I could see you again,  the sky has been so dark without you, the days have been bleak, and the sun is always weak.  Maybe I didn't know what this is all about, maybe I was a fool in love with a dream, I lost so much but it was never mine, just a gift that can float away anytime. If only I could catch a moment in time and never let it go, I didn't know.  Someday we'll pick the flowers, someday we'll drink from the crystal wine glasses, and it will all be fine, we'll drink the wine.  If only I could see you again.
