If Only You Knew Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

(Mike on lead) 

The mist of the morning in this strange town, 

lifted slowly with the sun, 

refracted the rays in a thousand ways, 

a new day just begun. 

And it crowded against my window sill, 

still sweet with the morning dew. 

If only you knew, 

how much I think of you. 

Into the van and down the road, 

along the highway fast. 

With this band I ride through the countryside, 

the seasons slidin' past. 

(Mike, w/ others singing "ahhhh") 

I spy a humble homestead there, 

with a garden and a river view. 

(Mike w/ Jian) 

If only you knew, 

how much I think of you. 

(Mike) 

By a stream of running water, 

I heard you laugh. 

I closed my eyes for an hour and a half, 

(Mike w/ Jian) 

and tried to make you appear. 

I swear in the beauty of the setting sun, 

(Mike) 

you were here. 

(Mike) 

An old troubador on the street that night, 

(Mike w/ himself) 

plays for our passin' change. 

(Mike) 

On a fiddle in g, a melody, 

mysterious and strange. 

(Mike, w/ others singing "ahhhh") 

He learned on a green distant mountain top, 

a wedding waltz, 

so sweet and true. 

(Mike w/ Jian) 

If only you knew, 

how much I think of you. 

(All) 

If only you knew, 

(Mike) 

how much I think of you. 

(guitar outro) 

(Mike speaking) 

Dave, are you below the safe low limit on that last one? 

(Jian speaking) 

That was great for me.
