If Only...



If only i could rewind time and relive moments that meant much,
I would relive every kiss, each and every little touch.
If only i could rewind time and relive moments that meant most,
I would never let them go, i would keep you very close.

If only i had the chance to show you what i can be,
Its like being locked in a cell, would you set me free?
If only reality could come of these dreams,
Its like being ripped apart from the seems.

My head filled with memories that just will not fade,
But i choose not to give them up, they are not for trade,
Are the best times gone by, or could i be wrong?
Is there still a chance for us to make it strong?

If only i got just one last shot, to try and pass this test,
I would give you the world, becasue you deserve the best,
If only i had the chance, just to make you see,
What your missing out on, what we could be.

If only life were like that, and miracles could come true,
If only life was perfect, i would be with you.
