If I only had the words to tell you
|
If you only had the time to understand
|
Though I know it wouldn't change your feelings
|
And I know you'll carry on the best you can.
|
|
If I only had the urge to tell you
|
If you only knew how hard it is to say
|
When the simple lines have all been taken
|
And the radio repeats them ev'ry day.
|
|
If I never find the song to sing you
|
If you always find it hard to comprehend
|
Well, you know there wouldn't be much meaning
|
If I had to sing those tired words again.
|
|
Life goes on and on
|
And tonight will soon be gone
|
But if we try we can be sure.
|
|
If I only had the words to tell you
|
If you only had the time to understand
|
But I only have these arms to hold you
|
And it's all that you can ask of any man.
|
|
La la la la, la la la la
|
|
If I only had the words to tell you
|
If you only had the time to understand
|
Oh, but I only have these arms to hold you
|
And it's all that you can ask of any man.
