If Only Lyrics - Straight From The Heart - Patrice Rushen

You took all the hurt away 

When my heart was down 

Showed me I was beautiful and made me smile 

Always so dependable 

A treasure seldom found 

There is much in you to be admired 

Now you're wanting happiness 

To be evermore 

And I should be happy and even overjoyed 

But my heart is telling me 

Deep inside I know 

Best of friends is as far as we go 

If only I could be 

In love like you want me to 

Life would be so fine 

If only all the love 

In your heart for me 

Could be here for you in mine 

I know how it feels inside 

To have love unreturned 

I know that it seems your love will forever burn 

How I wish that I could be 

The way you were for me 

And give you all the things that your heart needs 

If only I could be 

In love like you want me to 

Then your eyes would not cry 

If only all the love 

That you feel for me 

I could feel for you inside, ohhh 

There's nothing i can do 

I'm not in love with you 

If only I could be 

In love like you want me to, oh-ohhh 

Life would be so fine 

If only all the love 

In your heart for me 

Could be here for you in mine 

If only I could be 

In love like you want me to 

Life would be so fine 

If only... (fade out)
