Lyrics
If Only
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.
Lost entirely to a soft innocence
And a young girls in love
Trusting everything to his hand
That's what's to be expected
She'll give her life
Before she even knows it
Chanting Christian vows
She barely understands If only
"God is good" she repeats to herself
Everything's in black and white
All of the maidens all of the men
Were taken by her beauty
She'll give her life
Before she even knows it
Chanting Christian vows
She barely understands
If Only
In a starry sky
Filled with flickering wishes
One for you and I
I thought I knew
If only...
I could speak my mind
Without the chorus mocking.
If there's a god I think he'd disagree
With most everyone.
