Story Behind The Song

All came about when I lost, what I thought, was the love of my life, but several years down the road, along with a wife and kids....I found that it was better left the way it was instead of trying to go back to and try to get the old relationship back. T

Song Description

WHAT IF ? Ian Decker ©2004

What if I?d been the one

To love you for always?

Never care how much you changed

Keep you warm when you?d grow older

Never would have been another

But I was the one

You left behind that night

So you could spread your wings and fly

A new love on the horizon

Now your heart is frozen

I won?t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

What if I was right there?

Would you take me in your arms?

Or rip out my heart?

Would you know just what to do?

Could you use the words I need you?

I won?t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

Ohhh now, all this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won?t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

Oh no

What if you?d been the one?

Left behind back then

Vow to never love again

You?d see what I went through

And why you?ll never hear I Love You

I won?t find my way back to you

No matter what you do

Ohhh now, all this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won?t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

Oh no

What if I?d been the one

To love you for always?

All this time has passed you by

All the love that you denied

You can think of better days

I won?t be there when all is said and done

Wish your life away I am not the one

I don?t think so

Oh no

Oh no

What if I?d been the one?
