If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You)

If I only had the words to tell you If you only had the time to understand Though I know it wouldn't change your feelings And I know you'll carry on the best you can. If I only had the urge to tell you If you only knew how hard it is to say When the simple lines have all been taken And the radio repeats them ev'ry day. If I never find the song to sing you If you always find it hard to comprehend Well, you know there wouldn't be much meaning If I had to sing those tired words again. Life goes on and on And tonight will soon be gone But if we try we can be sure. If I only had the words to tell you If you only had the time to understand But I only have these arms to hold you And it's all that you can ask of any man. La la la la, la la la la If I only had the words to tell you If you only had the time to understand Oh, but I only have these arms to hold you And it's all that you can ask of any man. --- If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You) - Billy Joel
