Lyrics If God Only Knew

If God only knew how I loved that man

Ain't no words to say the way I feel
It's like a bad dream but it's real
It seems like only yesterday
We were talkin' in the most familiar way

Now everybody knows the way I am
They all see right through my show
I aimed so high now I'm so low
I'm all dressed up got and I nowhere to go

If God only knew how I loved that man
I would have died for you
I guess he'll never understand
I loved you right or wrong
It was you all along heaven knows
That it's true hard as it's been
I'd do it all over again

Say goodbye to dreamin'
It's only water in my hands

So when you see me walkin' down that street
Don't ignore me if I speak
'Cause I knew you better than anyone else
I loved ya more than you could ever know yourself

If God only knew how I loved that man
I would have died for you
I guess he'll never understand
I loved you right or wrong
It was you all along heaven knows
That it's true hard as it's been
I'd do it all over again
