If I'd Loved You Then Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker 

Well, I'm not the kind of man who sits and complains 

I've always been the kind of man who likes to take a chance 

I have lived my life to the fullest, I have no regrets 

Most of the time I feel I've had the best of it 

Chorus: 

But I see life's a one way street, you walk along, before too long 

You look back and see what you believe just might be wrong 

But every now and then I think about what might have been 

I wonder how good life would have been if I'd loved you then 

Well, I would never take back my wild oats for anything 

But I was ready the day we exchanged our wedding rings 

I had done all I could do alone, oh, I needed you 

And I've found out true love brings out the best in you 

Chorus 

And every day I think it can't get better than this 

But love is always changing as we learn to give 

I love you more than ever before and it just dawned on me 

The longer I love you the more that you will mean to me 

Chorus
