If Only You Knew

Teenage Love – If Only You Knew

If only you knew . . . 
           that day and night I think of you.
But you are oblivious to how I feel.
Is this love I’m feeling even real?

If only you knew . . .
           that I try to have you always in my view.
Whenever I’m at school, I watch you from the side.
Sometimes I daydream you’re my groom and I’m your bride.

If only you knew . . .
            when school gets out, I wonder what you do.
I wonder about the places you might go,
and the things that you enjoy. How I’d love to know!

If only you knew . . .
            how I yearn to touch you; you don’t have a clue.
Those warm brown eyes; your handsome face.
Every inch of it, with my fingers I would trace.

If only you knew . . .
             when I’m in your neighborhood, I pass through,
hoping you might be outside your house, for me to see.            
If not, I wonder where it is that you might be.

If only you knew . . .
            the many nights I play my records, feeling blue.
knowing that for you, I probably do not exist,
and only in my dreams, have we ever kissed.
