Light a Candle
They say memories are golden A million times I needed you, In life I loved you dearly, If tears could build a stairway Our family chain is broken, If I Had Only Known By: Reba Macintire If I had only known
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known
