Laying it all on the line with someone who has been an unrequited love for some time. When you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, honesty can be the best policy.
Lyrics
If Only You Were Mine Don’t you say to me, I’m not a young man Well I may be a little weary But I’m trying the best that I can I’m not like those other silly people So old and gray before their time I know that I would feel so much younger If only you were mine Look at me right in the eyes I dare you to Tell me that you sleep well Every night and the darkness never scares you Tell the truth now don’t the days Seem a little longer And the nights so terribly unkind I know that I would feel so much stronger, If only you were mine I’ve spent my whole life, looking for someone But I never knew who it was Now I’ve seen you face to face And you want to go without leaving a trace Well I didn’t mean to give you A long drawn out speech I guess I got kinda carried away When everything you’ve been looking for is Right within your very reach A man can’t control what he might say All I know is that I really love you And the feeling to me, is just so fine I know that I would feel it all the time If only you were mine If only you were mine Words and music by Gordon Hunt Copyright 1985 Werdzen Music Company (ASCAP)
