If I had known ...

If I had known …

If I had known, if I had known
How precious love is …
If I had known, how easy love is
If I had known, how peaceful love is
Now I know, how strong love makes us…

If I had known, it would be the last time I saw you
I would have gazed at you a little while longer
If I had known, it would be the last time I held you
I would have held you a little bit closer
If I had known, it would be the last time I kissed you
I would have kissed you a few times over
My dearest, my darling, my daughter,
sweet Alecia …
