IF ONLY
(Jack Scott)


Jack Scott - 1962





If only I could lie like you
Smile and be so sly like you
If only I could say I care
Knowing I'm not bein' fair
If only, if only, if only I didn't care
For you the way that I do

If only I could kiss your lips
And dream about someone else's lips
If only I could hold you tight
And dream about the girl tomorrow night
If only, if only, if only 
I could be like you

I love you much, much too much
To ever let you go
And your dreamy eyes keep me alert
I keep a-hopin' I won't get hurt

If only he would let you know
How very, very much I love you so
Let you see how we could be
Happy, just you and me
If only, if only, if only
Oh, what's the use, if only
If only, if only, if only

(Instrumental Break)

If only, yeah, if only
If only, oh, what's the use, if only
If only, if only, oh, what's the use, if only
If only, if only, oh, what's the use, if only
If only .............. FADE
