(Dolly Parton) |
|
The word "If", just two tiny letters |
|
Says so much for something so small |
|
The biggest little word in existence; |
|
Never answers, just questions us all |
|
If regrets were gold, |
|
I'd be rich as a queen |
|
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam |
|
If I'd loved you better, |
|
I wouldn't be lonely |
|
If only, if only, if only |
|
But looking back now |
|
I see clearly |
|
With my twenty-twenty hindsight |
|
Oh, but don't think |
|
I haven't paid dearly,' |
|
Cause you could be in my arms tonight |
|
If regrets were gold, |
|
I'd be rich as a queen |
|
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam |
|
How I let you go, |
|
I swear is beyond me |
|
But if only; ah, if only; oh, if only |
|
I could start over, if |
|
I could go back |
|
Have the power to change things |
|
Then I would do that |
|
But I listened to others like a fool, |
|
Oh, shame on me |
|
But if only you would just come back |
|
If only, dare |
|
I even ask |
|
Oh, if only |
