If she only knew, what I knew but could not say   If she could just see that part of me I hid away   If I could just hold her in my arms again and just say "I love you'"   What can I say, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew      If she could just feel, what I feel here in my heart   She'd know it was real, going true right from the start   But I'm just a man who didn't understand what she was going through   She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew      How, how did I let her get away?   Love, love is so easy to feel   But the hardest word to say      If she could just see, what I see when I close my eyes   She's all that I dream, surely she would realize   But like a fool I waited much too long to let her know the truth   She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew      And how, how did I let her get away?   Love, love is so easy to feel   But the hardest word to say      If she only knew, what I knew but could not say   If she could just see that part of me that I hid away   If I could just hold her in my arms again and just say "I love you"   She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew      Only knew my world is gray, each night I pray   She only knew that she only knew,   I said I'll pay, what can I say? If she only knew   If she only knew, if she only knew   Oh yeah
