When I think of all the times our paths crossed
I try not to view them as moments I've lost
When I think of how close and yet how far away
We've always been to that special day
I marvel at the miracle of life and its ways
The paths we took and the prayers I prayed
I look back in memories and see your face
If I'd only known the time I'd waste
I'd have stopped right then
Given you my heart
Put myself in your arms and never part
I'd have loved you sooner had I but known
I'd have stopped the lonely....
Oh, if only


If only
I hadn't wasted so much time being lonely
If only I'd known that you sat all alone
In your corner of life
Not too far from mine
Feeling the same things I felt
Thinking I'd die by myself
If only I'd known we'd meet
That you'd make my life complete
If only


When I think of all the countries, cities and towns
What a miracle it is, by you to be found
How close we have been, yet that all could have changed
By one moment, one decision, one single day
I stand amazed at the guiding hand
That brought this woman to a loving man
I look back in memories and see your eyes
I still remember the first time they met mine
Maybe a part of me knew then
That I should give you my heart
Put my hand in yours, and make a new start
I wish I had loved you sooner, I wish I had known
I'd have stopped the lonely....
Oh, if only


If only
I hadn't wasted so much time being lonely
If only I'd known that you sat all alone
In your corner of lifeNot too far from mine
Feeling the same things I felt
Thinking I'd die by myself
If only I'd known we'd meet
That you'd make my life complete
If only


But I count my blessings
That despite my doubt
That I'd ever know what love was about
God saw fit to bless me with you
And fill my heart with a love that's true
I count my blessings for every single day
That I have with you
Come what may
Wish I may, wish I might
That I'd have known sooner you were Mr. Right
But I'm so thankful to no longer say "if only"
Since you took away my lonely
For my True. :heart:
