Eclipse If Only
If Only
used to see the sunrise
as I was going to bed
breakfast at lunchtime
two aspirin for my head
you saw me as I used to be
on a ride at the fair
easy-going that was me
on a merry-go-round bound nowhere
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
as we were walking on the sand
I was dancing on the moon
but I could not understand
why you left so soon
you saw through me for what I am
flying fancy-free
thought I didn’t give a damn
but now you’re gone it’s clear to me
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
if only I’d loved you
half as much as you loved me
if only I’d loved
more than I’ve loved before
if only I’d loved you … if only I’d loved you
