If Only Lyrics

Dolly Parton If Only

The word if just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence
Never answers just questions us all

If regrets were gold I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds how my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better I wouldn't be lonely
If only if only if only

But looking back now I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh but I don't think I haven't paid dearly
Cause you could be in my arms tonight

If regrets were gold I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds how my face would gleam
How I let you go I swear is beyond me
But if only oh if only oh if only

I could start over if I could go back
Have the power to change things then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool oh shame on me
But if only you would just come back
If only dare I even ask oh if only
