Ivor Novello — If Only Hed Looked My Way

(Chorus) If only he’d looked my way Just stopped to say A word of greeting This "let’s pretend" Would end there and then The very moment when My heart stopped beating If only he’d turned to smile That little while However fleeting Would always seem A dream to dream today If only he’d looked my way (Verse) Life's a scramble Love's a gamble So they say Someone breaks the bank Someone draws a blank Fortune's fickle Like a nickel Thrown away It's heads or tails You're in the hands of fate Till it's too late (Chorus) If only he’d looked my way Just stopped to say A word of greeting This "let’s pretend" Would end there and then The very moment when My heart stopped beating If only he’d turned to smile That little while However fleeting Would always seem A dream to dream today If only he’d looked my way
