Patrice Rushen — If Only

[Verse I] You took all the hurt away When my heart was down Showed me I was beautiful and made me smile Always so dependable A treasure seldom found There is much in you to be admired Now you're wanting happiness To be evermore And I should be happy and even overjoyed But my heart is telling me Deep inside I know Best of friends is as far as we go [Chorus] If only I could be in love Like you want me to - oh Life would be so fine If only all the love in your heart for me Could be here for you in mine [Verse II] I know how it feels inside To have love unreturned I know that it seems your love Will forever burn How I wish that I could be The way you were for me And give you all the things That your heart needs [Bridge] If only I could be in love Like you ant me to - oh Then your eyes would not cry If only all the love that you feel for me I could feel for you inside There's nothing I can do I'm not in love with you [Chorus] If only I could be in love Like you want me to - oh Life would be so fine If only all the love in your heart for me Could be here for you in mine
