If Only Songtext
von Patrice Rushen

You took all the hurt away
When my heart was down
Showed me I was beautiful
And made me smile
Always so dependable
A treasure seldom found
There is much in you to be admired

Now you′re wanting happiness
To be evermore
And I should be happy
And even overjoyed
But my heart is telling me
Deep inside I know
Best of friends is as far as we go

If only I could be in love
Like you want me to, oh
Life would be so fine
If only all the love in your heart for me
Could be here for you in mine


I know how it feels inside
To have love unreturned
I know that it seems your love
Will forever burn

How I wish that I could be
The way you were for me
And give you all the things
That your heart needs

If only I could be in love
Like you want me to, oh
Then your eyes would not cry
If only all the love that you feel for me
I could feel for you inside
There's nothing I can do
I′m not in love with you
If only I could be in love
Like you want me to, oh
Life would be so fine
If only all the love in your heart for me
Could be here for you in mine, oh
If only i could be in love
Like you want me to
Life would be so fine
