Rebecca Martin - If Only lyrics

rate me

(R. Martin)

Lost entirely to a soft innocence

And a young girls in love

Trusting everything to his hand

That's what's to be expected

She'll give her life

Before she even knows it

Chanting Christian vows

She barely understands If only

"God is good" she repeats to herself

Everything's in black and white

All of the maidens all of the men

Were taken by her beauty

She'll give her life

Before she even knows it

Chanting Christian vows

She barely understands

If Only

In a starry sky

Filled with flickering wishes

One for you and I

I thought I knew

If only...

I could speak my mind

Without the chorus mocking.

If there's a god I think he'd disagree

With most everyone.
