Back then you were a whisper floating on
the breeze,
Not a windstorm in the summer that knocks me
to my knees.
I never thought I'd see you as a sanction
In the sea,
But then I never knew how much
You'd one day mean to me.

Back then I blew my chances just like I blew
You off,
I never heard the melody just the wracking
cough.
If only I had known then that I would fall
For you,
I would not have let you slip into the
darkening blue.

If I had known, if only I had known...

(chorus)
If I had known
Your voice would knock me off my feet,
If I had known
Your touch would tremor through my knees.
If I had seen
The sparkle a-light, 'twas in your gaze,
If I had seen
The way it strengthened to a blaze.
I would not
Have cast your face into the wind.
I would not
Be asking for all it could have been.
I would not
Be here with desperate cries a-wrack
my throat.
If I had known, if only I had known

Oh, if only I ha known then I wouldn't be
standing in the rain all alone,
Oh, if only I had known then I'd be tucked
In your embrace - I'd be home....

(chorus)
If I had known
Your voice would knock me off my feet,
If I had known
Your touch would tremor through my knees.
If I had seen
The sparkle a-light, 'twas in your gaze,
If I had seen
The way it strengthened to a blaze.
I would not
Have cast your face into the wind.
I would not
Be asking for all it could have been.
I would not
Be here with desperate cries a-wrack
my throat.
If I had known, if only I had known

If only I had known......
That I would love you......
