If Only…
If only I could hold you tight
Just one more special time.
If I could take you in my arms
And always make you mine.
If only I could take my hand
And with my fingers trace
Those sweet and loving contours
Of your gentle face.
If only I could gaze once more
Deep into gentle eyes
And hear your laughter echo
Between a tender sigh.
If only I could run my fingers
Through your silken hair
And whisper gently in your ear
Of just how much I care.
If only there had never been
That nightmare of a day
When I stood and watched them bury you
Beneath the hard cold clay.
If only I had been the one
To stop the bullets flight
Then you would still be with us
And the world would still have light.
If only I could learn to live
Without my special one
Instead of dying, piece by piece
And wishing life was done.
If only I could speak to you
And tell you how I feel
If only I could wake one day
And find this isn't real.
If only…simple words and yet
They mean so much to me
If only Terry, If only
For you meant the world to me.
