Lyrics
- Watching the skies thru my tear dimmed eyes
Dark clouds are all that I see
Sweetheart, if you’d only realize
You’d change the whole view for me
Chorus:
If you were only mine
If you were only mine
I know the sun would shine for me
I’d find my happiness
To be in your caress
My every fear and every tear, I’d lose dear
If you could understand
I know you’d lend a hand
To all the dreams I’ve planned for you
Life would be so divine
I’d worship at your shrine
Sweetheart, if you were only mine
- My little world, dear, is “just pretend”
I make believe it’s all true
I live in dreams, but when my dreams end
Gray skies replace all the blue
