If I Had Only Known - Reba McEntire

If I had only known, it was the last walk in the rain

I’d keep you out for hours in the storm

I would hold your hand, like a life line to my heart

Underneath the thunder we’d be warm

If I had only known, it was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known, I’d never hear your voice again

I’d memorize each thing you ever said

And on those lonely nights, I could think of them once more

And keep your words alive inside my head

If I had only known, I’d never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand

You were the one who always stood beside me

So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there

But then there came a day and I turned my head and you slipped away

If I had only known, it was my last night by your side

I’d pray a miracle would stop the dawn

And when you’d smile at me, I would look into your eyes

And make sure you know my love, for you goes on and on

If I had only known, if I had only known

Oh the love I would’ve shown, if I had only known
