If Only I Had Known
If only I had known it was the last walk in the rain,
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm.
I would hold your hand like a lifeline to my heart,
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm.
If only I had known it was our last walk in the rain.

If only I had known, I'd never hear your voice again,
I'd memorize each thing you said,
And on those lonely nights I could think of them once more,
Keep your words alive inside my head.
If only I had known I'd never hear your voice again.

You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware, I foolishly believed
That you would always be there,
And I turned my head, and you slipped away.

If only I had known, It was my last night with you in my life
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you knew my love
For you goes on and on, if only I had known.
If only I had known
The love I would have shown,
If only I had known.
