Lyrics
If I Had Only Known
Music & Lyrics by
Krisanthi Pappas
Verse 1:If I had only known, there would be you,
I would?ve dreamed more hours, of things we could do.
If I had only known, if I?d had a clue,
I would?ve picked more flowers, just to bring them to you.
Bridge: I?d seen so many loves end, and you were just my friend,
then I looked into your eyes and by surprise I realized
that you and I had fallen in love.
Verse 2: If I had only known, I?d have a chance,
I would?ve asked the moonlight, to bring this romance.
If I had only known, we?d have romance,
I would?ve watched my shadow, learning how to dance.
(Solos over Verse)
Bridge: I?d seen so many loves end, and you were just my friend,
then I looked into your eyes and by surprise I realized
that you and I had fallen in love, oh!
Verse 3: If I had only known, I wouldn?t be alone,
I would?ve tried more flavors, to share an ice cream cone.
If I had only known, you?d be my own,
I would?ve learned more love songs, if I had only known.
Tag: I would?ve learned more love songs, if I had only known.
