If I had only known

How short forever would be

I'd have held you closer

And made each moment

A cherished memory.

We'd have walked along the beach

Beneath the moon's bright glow

And squished the velvety sand

Between our toes.

And lost ourselves

Beneath the stars above

As we danced and sang

Our song of love.

But time is cruel

And flies so fast

If only I could have

Just one more chance.

I'd let you know

How very much

I loved you
