F ONLY
If only love was easy to show and see
Then you'll see how deep my love is for you
If only you knew that you hold the key
To my heart, my soul, and all that is true
Even if the sun is shining warm and bright
Somehow I can't feel the warmth of its rays
A cloud over my head keeps the away light
I lost count of all these cold and lonely days
If only I didn't lose to my fears and dared
To tell you what I was thinking, was feeling
If only the day with its ominous clouds cleared
But now all the hurt will never be healing
Even if the sky was blue after the rain
The world is still dark and cold like the sea
I don't think I can take anymore of this pain
What happened to all the joy I use to see?
I can't bring myself to look up and smile
God knows how I'm struggling not to cry
How does a short distances become a mile?
There was a time when you stood close by
If only things were different for you and me
If only love was easy to show and see
