The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. I’ve never told you how truly I love you
I’ve never held your hand in mine
I’ve never whispered fond words of devotion
Nor told you that I worshipped at your shrine
Still I wonder what you’d say if I would tell you true
The way my heart is beating just for you
REFRAIN
If you only knew, Sweetheart
If you only knew
How my heart is filled with love
And tenderness for you
If you knew that in your eyes
Something thrills me through
Would you let me say “I love you”
If you only knew
2. Sometimes in Dreamland you’re walking beside me
I see your eyes with love-light shine
And as I whisper undying devotion
You tell me softly that your heart is mine
Then I take you in my arms and hear you sweetly say
I’m yours Sweetheart, forever and a day
REFRAIN
If you only knew, Sweetheart
If you only knew
How my heart is filled with love
And tenderness for you
If you knew that in your eyes
Something thrills me through
Would you let me say “I love you”
If you only knew
Tell me what you’d do
If you only knew
