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
