If Only
Music & Lyrics by Zahné Briel & Judith Maria Dorothea Van der Wat.
VERSE 1
Who gave you
those blue eyes and kisses
He says he loves you so dearly
but he turns around with his fits
You smile as if nothing happens
If only your knowing was so bliss
and you keep on keeping up
your masquerade
CHORUS
If only
he’d hold you
loved you
and didn’t hurt you with his words at all
and hold you loved you
and didn’t hit you with his fits
falling more and more
sooner or later your tears run dry
you’re left with an untamed beast
and a man that was once
VERSE 2
Does he still give
you those blue eyes
oh and kisses
Does he still love you
so dearly
but you turn the other cheek
you smile insincerely
your happiness to dust
but you keep on oh
your keeping up
your masquerade
CHORUS
If only
he’d hold you
loved you and
didn’t hurt you with his words at all
and hold you loved you
and didn’t hit you with his fits
falling more and more
sooner or later your tears run dry
you’re left with an untamed beast
and no end in sight
Does he still give you those blue eyes & kisses
