Anouk - If I Knew lyrics

Why was I waiting for tomorrow? Why
Didn't I take the time?
To say "I'm sorry" and that we were fine
If I knew it'd be the last time I
Would see you walking out the door
I'd give you hugs and kisses and
Call you back for more
I would say "I love you more
Than you will ever know"
And hold you so close to my heart
And ask you never to let go

If I knew that this would be the
Last time that I'll see your face
I would stop and say "I need you every day"
But now you're gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?

A prayer in a peaceful place
With God by your side
Still can't believe it's true
I wasn't ready to say goodbye
Baby, I'm still lost without you
There's so much that I wanted to say
I'm lost in a sea of time
But it's a little too late
I hope you knew I loved you so
Each and every day
Did you know you taught me to
Live to the fullest every day?

If I knew that this would be the
Last time that I'll see your face
I would stop and say "I need you every day"
But now you're gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?
If I knew that this would be the
Last time that I'll see your face
What do you say when words
Just don't mean enough?
Now you're gone, my love gone, gone, gone

Even on the darkest days and
On my greyest nights
When my tears poured out like rain
You'd be the one that made me smile
Now my days go by and back without you

If I knew that this would be the
Last time that I'll see your face
I would stop and say "I need you every day"
But now you're gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?
