If Only (Quartet)

If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
What i wish i could convey
It's in my every glance
My heart's an open book
You'd see it all at once
If only you would look.

If only you could glimpse
The feeling that I feel
If only you would notice
What I'm dying to reveal
The dreams I can't declare
The needs I can't deny
You'd understand them all
If only you would try.

All my secrets, you would learn them
All my longings, you'd return them
Then the silence would be broken
Not a word would need be spoken.

What is it about her that's
So wonderfully and possibly familiar
Why do I feel dizzy in a way
I've only felt but once before
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did
That day upon the shore!
But that voice.

If only ears were true
If only for a while
Ah, that voice!
If only you would notice
How I ache behind my smile
Where's that voice?

I guess you never will
I guess it doesn't show
But if i never find a way
To tell you so
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know...

Bless you child
Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any Princess in the land
How can a little mermaid compete with that?

If only i knew how
I'd make him see the light
If only it were up to me
This all would turn out right
And if I only could
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd simply wave me claw
And make your dreams come true
And wouldn't that surprise you
If you only knew?

How could she just suddenly
Completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days
And I Don't know where she has gone!
Oh, that voice!

If only you could know
If only I could help
Where's that voice?
If only there were time
I know we'd kiss at last
That voice!

If only you'd come back
I'll change my ways
Just one more day
For that kiss to come.

But time keeps racing forward
And our moment's almost past
I'll try to understand
It has to happen now
I'd give my life up
To make it happen
I'd give my timber low
I should have started listening
To you long ago.

How I wish that girl could
Have been this one
There's only one more day
Until I have to go
If only...
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know.

And at the ball, what will accumb?
Maybe I'll find that voice
But I'll loose her
If only...
If only...
If only...
