If only I could hold you tight

Just one more special time.

If I could take you in my arms

And always make you mine.

If only I could take my hand

And with my fingers trace

Those sweet and loving contours

Of your gentle face.

If only I could gaze once more

Deep into gentle eyes

And hear your laughter echo

Between a tender sigh.

If only I could run my fingers

Through your silken hair

And whisper gently in your ear

Of just how much I care.

I only there had never been

That nightmare of a day

When I stood and watched them bury you

Beneath the hard cold clay.

If only I had been the one

To stop the bullets flight

Then you would still be with us

And the world would still have light.

If only I could learn to live

Without my special one

Instead of dying, piece by piece

And wishing life was done.

If only I could speak to you

And tell you how I feel

If only I could wake one day

And find this isnt real.

If onlysimple words and yet

They mean so much to me

If only Terry, If only

For you meant the world to me.
