If she only knew

Edger Lappen 1980 (colombo)



If she only knew
If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
And took me for granted and played me up
Cause love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
Only if she could just see
What I see when I close my eyes
All that I dreams I felt for her
Surely she would realize
Like a fool I waited much too long
But now she's gone away,
Maybe she'd wanted this way
Only if she knew
