If Only (Quartet)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ariel:
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 ev'ry 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.
Eric:
What is it about her thats so wonderfully, impossibily 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!
Ariel:
If only it were true.
If only for a while.
Eric:
Ah, that voice!
Ariel:
If only you would notice how I ache behind my smile.
Eric:
Where's that voice?
Ariel:
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.
Sebastian:
(Spoken)Bless ya, child. Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any princess in the land.
How can a little mermaid compete with that?
(sung)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 my claw, and make your dreams come true.
And wouldn't that surprise you if you only knew.
King Triton:
How could she just suddenly, completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days and I dont know where she has gone!
Eric:
Ah, that voice!
King Triton:
If only you'd come home...
Sebastian:
If only I could help...
Eric:
Where\'s that voice?
Ariel:
If only there were time, I know we'd kiss at last.
Eric:
That voice!
King Triton:
If only you'd come back I'll change my ways!
Sebastian:
Just one more day for that kiss to come...
Ariel:
But time keeps racing forward and our moments almost past!
King Triton:
I'll try to understand...
Ariel:
It has to happen now...
King Triton:
I'll keep my temper low...
Sebastian:
I'd give my life up to make it happen...
King Triton:
I should've started listening to you long ago...
Eric:
How I wish that girl could have been this one!
Sebastian:
Oh!
Ariel:
There's only one more day until I have to go!
Eric:
If only...
Ariel, Sebastian
