Patrice Rushen - If Only Lyrics

You took all the hurt away
When my heart was down
Showed me I was beautiful and made me smile
Always so dependable
A treasure seldom found
There is much in you to be admired

Now you're wanting happiness
To be evermore
And I should be happy and even overjoyed
But my heart is telling me
Deep inside I know
Best of friends is as far as we go

If only I could be
In love like you want me to
Life would be so fine
If only all the love
In your heart for me
Could be here for you in mine

I know how it feels inside
To have love unreturned
I know that it seems your love will forever burn
How I wish that I could be
The way you were for me
And give you all the things that your heart needs

If only I could be
In love like you want me to
Then your eyes would not cry
If only all the love
That you feel for me
I could feel for you inside, ohhh

There's nothing i can do
I'm not in love with you

If only I could be
In love like you want me to, oh-ohhh
Life would be so fine
If only all the love
In your heart for me
Could be here for you in mine

If only I could be
In love like you want me to
Life would be so fine
If only... (fade out)
