If I knew then what I know now
I would have found a way somehow
to take my share and bear the load
to walk together down that road
but youth and immaturity
did not allow my eyes to see.
Now time has passed, the clock runs on
it\'s far too late to sing my song
but if I knew then I would surely try
to pluck a star from the velvet sky
and braid it into your golden hair
to prove to you how much I care.
And now...now it\'s far too late
to wish that I could set things straight
to think that we might roll back time
to hope that you might be inclined
to set aside your bitterness
forgive my foolish selfishness
Someday I\'ll write a poem for you
honest words long overdue
the shame and sadness of my life
are the memories that invade my nights
dreams that taunt me with \"somehow\"
if I knew then what I know now.
