IF YOU ONLY KNEW
(V. Horton / W. Berquist / H. Kogen)


Lee Morse - 1950





If you only knew, when I smile at you
My poor heart is breaking inside
If you only knew, since you've been untrue
How it hurts me to keep up my pride

All my friends wonder why
 I don't tell you goodbye
But I know you'd feel sorry
And then I'd have to cry

So, if somebody new loves you more than I do
She's lying, if only you knew

(Instrumental Break)

If you only knew, when I smile at you
My poor heart is breaking inside
If you only knew, since you've been untrue
How it hurts me to keep up my pride

All my friends wonder why
 I don't tell you goodbye
But I know you'd feel sorry
And then I'd have to cry

So, if somebody new loves you more than I do
Ah, she's lying, if only you knew
