If Only

Silent Reminders
Stare out from their frames
Black and white faces
Without any names

Schooldays and heartaches
All have a place
Summertime beaches
A special embrace

They're all very special
Each brings back a time
The time i was happy
The times you were mine

Why couldn;t we keep it
The Love we enjoyed
If only we'd faced
What we tried to avoid.

We knew there were troubles
We pushed them away
We did so much hiding
Had nothing to say.

If only we'd faced them
We might have come through
If only we'd realised
If only we knew...

That Love is a tewasure
Too rae to slip by
And if it's worth having
You've both got to try.

I treasure my memories
They're all ive got
My silent reminders
Of what i've lost.
