Lyrics

If I Knew Then


Someone spoke your name
Said you?d changed your mind
You are coming home
Across a great divide
When I remembered your face
It hit me like a sunrise on a new day
So many years I?ve known you
Never felt for you this way

If I knew then what I
Know now about myself
Would I be surrounded by
A different kind of wealth?

The years have taught me lessons
Time has brought me up and knocked me down
But you?ll see I?m still standing
When I come around

If I knew then what I
Know now about myself
Would I be surrounded by
A different kind of wealth?
A different kind of love
The kind that?s not afraid
If I knew then what I know now
What life would I have led?

Someone speaks your name
I find that I have changed
Tell me what the odds are
That you have stayed the same
