If Only
Yearning Echoes: Longing for a Lost Love in 'If Only'
Lyrics
All I own, everything I do
All of my possessions and actions are offered for the chance to be with you.
I would surrender for one more tender night with you
I am willing to give up everything I own for just one more intimate night with you.
-------
(This line is not provided)
All that's mine, all that I possess
Everything that belongs to me, everything I have, I would trade for the warmth of your touch.
Struggled and paid for, I'd gladly trade for your caress
Even things I've worked hard for, I'd exchange willingly for your affection.
-------
(This line is not provided)
I live and breathe your memory every day
Your memory is a vital part of my daily existence.
I'm so afraid in time you'll slip away
I fear that with time, the memory of you might fade away.
-------
(This line is not provided)
Here inside forever you'll remain
Your presence will forever be within me.
I'd give up each pleasure and all that I treasure
I'm willing to sacrifice pleasures and treasures to keep you within me.
If I could have you back again
If only I could have you back again.

(This line is not provided)
I've dreamed of ways that could erase
I've imagined ways to undo the mistakes I've made.
The wrong that I've done
Despite my efforts, everything I've tried has failed.
But everything I've tried has gone astray
(This line is not provided)
-------
Every night in my dreams, I experience a reunion with you.
Every night somewhere in my sleep
My dreams feel real, and I keep meeting you in them.
My dreams come true, my rendezvous with you I keep
(This line is not provided)
-------
I wish I could change your feelings and end my suffering.
I wish that I could change the way you feel
There's a desire to alter the way you perceive me.
And somehow bring an end to my ordeal
(This line is not provided)
-------
-My heart sings his old refrain
My heart echoes an old song of longing.
I could recapture the joy and the rapture
I could regain the happiness and excitement of our past.
If I could have you back again
If only I could have you back again.
-------
(This line is not provided)
I could recapture the joy and the rapture
I could experience joy and ecstasy once more.
If I could have you back again
If only I could have you back again.
If only I could have you back again
