IF ONLY
By Douglas Stanglin & Janet Devers

Verse:
IF ONLY, I HAD MET YOU TWENTY YEARS AGO
OH, HOW DIFFERENT LIFE WOULD BE
INSTEAD OF YEARS OF HEARTACHE,
THERE’D BE YEARS OF YOU AND ME

Verse:
IF ONLY, I HAD FOUND YOU WAY BACK THEN
AND LET THE YEARS ROLL BY AGAIN.
INSTEAD OF QUIET DESPERATION
THERE’D BE LOVE AND CONVERSATION
OH, IF I HAD ONLY MET YOU TWENTY YEARS AGO

Bridge:
OUR KIDS WOULD ALL HAVE LOOKED SO PRETTY
THEY’D TAKE AFTER YOU,
HALLOWEENS, SENIOR PROMS,
TWENTY CHRISTMASES, TOO

Verse 3 IF ONLY, SOME WISE MAN COULD SHOW ME HOW
TO SEE US TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW
NO MORE NEED FOR MIGHT-HAVE-BEEN-ING
MEMORIES ARE JUST BEGINNING
I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU
TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW.
