If I had only known that you were leaving here so soon
I would not have been so flippant when I offered you the moon
I'd have pulled my chair up closer to the railing of your bed

And chosen much more carefully the words I said

chorus:

I would ask you for your stories
And I would tell you mine
I would give you much more credit

I would take more of your time
There's so much I left unspoken
If you were here right now

I would love you out loud

If I had said the words "I love you" every time they crossed my mind

Then you would have heard me tell you at least a thousand times
I know you knew it anyway, I guess you understood
But I would like to go back if I only could


repeat chorus


I would touch you much more often
I would laugh at all your jokes
I would worry through your worries

I would dream through all your hopes
I would pray with you to heaven
Are you watching from there now?

Do you know what I would give for the chance somehow?

repeat chorus
