If Only I Had Known

If only I had known I’d never hear your voice again 
Or hear you whisper sweetly in my ear 
I'd memorise each word of love you ever said to me 
So when I'm all alone, your voice I’ll hear

If only I had known it was the last time I would see 
The man I love with all my heart and soul 
I would have held on tighter and kept you close to me 
And never would have ever let you go 

If only I had known it was my last night in your arms 
That I would never wake with you again 
I’d pray for God to hide the sun and let you stay with me 
And pray for night time always to remain 

If only I had known you would be taken from my life 
Be left with only memories and tears 
I’d cherish every second, every minute spent with you 
To keep them in my heart through all the years 

If only I had known that you were leaving me behind 
So many things I never got to say 
To tell you what it meant for me to have you in my life 
Steal one more kiss before you went away 

You were my love my heart my soul, the reason that I breathe 
And now you are my Angel up above 
Please listen Derek, hear me when I say a prayer for you 
The only man I know I’ll ever love ...

For Derek...the love of Doreen's life xx
