If
Melissa Bryant Morris 1983 (Louisiana)
I see you day after day
And wish you'd look my way
And see how much I care for you
If you only knew...
It breaks my heart
From the start,
To see another girl next to you!
If you only knew...
I've learned the value of patience
Waiting for this to make sense
Because I've waited years for you
Oh... If you only knew...
There's so much I wish I could tell you
If you only knew...
What I've tried not to show
That I love you so!
