If Only I Had Known
If only I had known I’d never hear your voice again
Or hear you whisper sweetly in my ear
I'd memorise each word of love you ever said to me
So when I'm all alone, your voice I’ll hear
If only I had known it was the last time I would see
The man I love with all my heart and soul
I would have held on tighter and kept you close to me
And never would have ever let you go
If only I had known it was my last night in your arms
That I would never wake with you again
I’d pray for God to hide the sun and let you stay with me
And pray for night time always to remain
If only I had known you would be taken from my life
Be left with only memories and tears
I’d cherish every second, every minute spent with you
To keep them in my heart through all the years
If only I had known that you were leaving me behind
So many things I never got to say
To tell you what it meant for me to have you in my life
Steal one more kiss before you went away
You were my love my heart my soul, the reason that I breathe
And now you are my Angel up above
Please listen Derek, hear me when I say a prayer for you
The only man I know I’ll ever love ...
For Derek...the love of Doreen's life xx
