If I Only Knew

IF I ONLY KNEW

If I only knew
Your deepest fears
Your goals
Your dreams
Your closest peers

I would love you for the rest of my years
If I only knew

If I only knew
What made you sad
The good
 The great
 The bad

I’d love you as the best I’ve ever had
If I only knew

If I only knew
How to make you stay
My troubling heart
Will no more astray

I’d love you until my very last day
If I only knew
