If I

by sadeyes   Jun 16, 2007


If I had only Known
When I walked out the door
That it would be our last good-bye
I would have found a reason to stay

If I had only known
The tears that stopped flowing
Would fall once again for you
I might have found a way
To make them go away

If I had only known
That my last words to you
Would ring so true inside my head
I would have stayed silent

If I had only known
That my world would end that day
I would have found a way
To make the time not fade away

If I had only known
You were going up to heaven
I would have walked with you
Until the very end

If I had only known
That God was going to take my life away
I would have tried to find away
For me to stay

But I don't know what each day will hold
So I need to stand tall
And Love my life and world anyway
