If I Had Only Known


Remembering vaseRemembering vase is engraved with the words "Remembering" and the name of your loved one. Put flowers in the vase on special days to help keep your memories alive.


by Reba McEntire

 

If I had only known it was the last walk in the rain,
I’d keep you out for hours in the storm.
I would hold your hand, like a life line to my heart.
Underneath the thunder we’d be warm.
If I had only known it was the last walk in the rain.

If I had only known I’d never hear your voice again,
I’d memorize each thing you’ve ever said.
And on those lonely nights, I could think of you once more.
Keep your words alive inside my head.
If I had only known I’d never hear your voice again.

You were the treasure in my hand.
You were the one who always stood beside me.
So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there.
But then there came a day,
And I turned my head and you slipped away.

If I had only known it was my last night by your side,
I’d pray a miracle stop the dawn.
And when you smiled at me I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love for you goes on and on.
If I had only known,
If I had only known,

The love I would have shown, if I had only known.
