If only I'd have listened to all of my closest friends
and knew that it was over and the party had to end
If only I'd have noticed the sadness in her eyes
she'd still be in my arms tonight, if only
If only I'd have realized the unimportance of being cool
to give a kiss and maybe just say 'Darlin' I love you'
If only I'd said I'm sorry I'd have been a much better man
she'd still be in my arms tonight, if only
There's an emptiness that fills my heart now that she's not here
I loved her more than my own life something I've always feared, if only
If only I'd come home at night instead of stayin' out for one more drink
If only I'd been unconcerned what the other guys may think
If only I'd a held her tight but I guess it's too late now
Oh how blind could one man be, if only
