If only I told you more often How much I really cared Maybe nothing would be forgotten And all grief would’ve been spared If only I told you more often How much you really meant We might still experience A life lived to its full extent If only I told you more often How much I really needed Your tender loving care I might not feel abandoned When life seems all but fair If only I told you more often How well we worked together Perhaps I could still feel Your fingers running through my hair If only I told you more often How much I liked to hear You say those three words That we all long to hear If only I told you less How much I disagree Then maybe you’d still be here Nestled up next to me If only I told you more often Or sometimes a little less Then I might not be alone right now And cry a little less
