If Only — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Cregan)

If only I`d have listened to all of my closest friends
and knew that it was over and the party had to end
If only I`d have noticed the sadness in her eyes
she`d still be in my arms tonight, if only

If only I`d have realized the unimportance of being cool
to give a kiss and maybe just say Darlin` I love you
If only I`d said I`m sorry I`d have been a much better man
she`d still be in my arms tonight, if only

There`s an emptiness that fills my heart now that she`s not here
I loved her more than my own life something I`ve always feared, if only

If only I`d come home at night instead of stayin` out for one more drink
If only I`d been unconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I`d a held her tight but I guess it`s too late now
Oh how blind could one man be, if only

Whoa oh but I will not be sad after all the fun we`ve had
You live some and you learn some, if only

If only I could convince her the importance of one more chance
If only God would allow me one more celestial dance
If only I had the nerve to call her up and tell her how I feel
She`d still be in my arms tonight, if only

But it`s only love and love ain`t real it`s only a four letter word
We spend half our lives chasing after it how wonderf `lly absurd, if only

Whoa whoa but I will not be sad after all the fun we had
You live some and you learn some
Whoa but I will not be sad after all the fun that we had
You live some and you learn some, you learn some
If only
