IF ONLY...
If only I'd known which path to take,
If only I hadn't made that stupid mistake,
If only I'd taken that good advice,
I may have stumbled once. but never twice
If only I'd listened when opportunity knocked,
How many doors to the future I may have unlocked.
If only I'd appreciated that sunny day,
Instead of complaining when skies were grey.
It only I hadn't lost my head,
And said so many things I shouldn't have said.
If only our loved ones didn't grow old,
Like roses left out too long in the cold.
If only I'd said, "Dad, I've loved you so strong”
But I didn't know how soon you'd be gone.
If only I’d thought more of others and Less of me,
What a happier place my world would be.
If only I could start all over once more,
But I'd probably do the same as before,
And so through life saying plaintively,
If only, if only, if only
