Lyrics If Only - Dolly Parton

The word "If", just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existance
Never answers, just question us all
If regrets were gold
I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
If I loved you better
I wouldn't be lonely
If only
If only
If only
But looking back now I see clearly
With my 20-20 hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly
'Cause you could be in my arms tonight
If regrets were gold
I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
How I let you go
I swear, it's beyond me
But if only
Oh, if only
Oh, if only I could start over
If I could go back
Have the power to change things
Then I would do that
But I listen to others like a fool
Oh, shame on me
But if only you would just come back
If only, dare I even ask
Oh, if only
