If I Knew Then
Dean Martin · Superstar Series [Payless] [2006]
If I knew then you'd be here right now
I'd trade the world and its gold
To have and to hold
The one thing in life I love
If I knew then oh what I know now
We would never have drifted apart
If I Had only taken your dream and made it part of mine
If I knew then oh what I know now
If I knew then oh what I know now
We would never have drifted apart
If I Had only taken your dream made it part of mine
If I knew then what I know now
