If Only You Could Love Me

Story Behind The Song

Written in 1987 when I was 21, this song is about a girl that I was in love with but she was not in love with me. It was one of the first songs I ever wrote whilst learning to play the guitar. An outpouring of emotion. I have only recently (The last couple of years) returned to songwriting now that our kids are a little older.

Lyrics



I remember when I first looked into your eyes
I remember you looked back
I felt so warm inside
Your eyes so clear and bright
Your beauty a moonlit night
You never leave my mind
Your laughter sweet and kind


If only you could love me,
Like I love you tonight, like I love you tonight

I can feel it every time you are near
Is it imagination or is it fear of being without you



I?m confused inside it's true, I seem to always be
But one thing I know for sure
You mean that much to me
I'll protect you from the storm
Hide you from all harm
I'll be your Romeo, and I want you to know


If only you could love me,
Like I love you tonight, like I love you tonight

I can feel it every time you are near
Is it imagination or is it fear of being without you


If only you could love me,
Like I love you tonight, like I love you tonight


If only you could love me,
Like I love you tonight
