If Only You Could Know

Frozen fingers in mine and the moon shines The clouds were our breath as it floated down And the stars were as bright as your eyes The night’s heavy with the cold And the heat of our love was what kept me warm that night   I walk these streets barefoot But no broken glass or shattered feelings could keep me from you And with every step I take The shots of pain shoot through my body But in your eyes the pain melts away Like ice being beat by the sun   If only you could see The ways my heart beats for you I love you more than I could ever show If only you could know   Please don’t look away from my eyes tonight My love won’t stop and die The world won’t be as big And the dark won’t scare you In my arms there is no fear for you to know If only I could show The ways I feel for you Those three little words don’t mean enough I would take the stars from the sky and put them by your side To warm you on your coldest nights   If only you could see The ways my heart beats for you I love you more than I could ever show If only you could know
