If only I'd have listened, to all of my closest friends.
Who 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.
