If I Had Known

Clifford Ward · Other Songs - Clifford Ward

If I had known this was to be the last time

I would have never let you go

But there you were, still talkin' of the first time

And how was I to know?



No tears for you, no sense of feeling cheated

But only life, you taught me how to live

If only I could have changed places with you

God knows I would.



INSTRUMENTAL



One thing I know, our love will live forever

And one day I'll be with you again

Just as April blossom lasts forever

Goodbye my love till then.



Just as April blossom lasts forever

Goodbye my love till then.
