If He Only Knew

He pulls up a chair and smiles my way

Asks about the weather, what I did today

I Smile and I laugh, keep my voice light and low

He sees a friendly face

But that's all he'll know

If he only knew the tears I cry at night, if he only knew he's the sunlight in my life

If he only knew this aching in my soul. If he only knew he's all I'd ever need

If he only knew the love that burns in me, if he only knew

He talks about her, the girl with the bright eyes. How she makes him happy, beneath star filled skies. I stir my coffee and pretend I don't mind but inside a part of me slowly breaks and cries

If he only knew the tears I cry at night. If he only knew he's the sunlight in my life

If he only knew this aching in my soul. If he only knew he's all I'd ever need

If he only knew the love that burns in me if he only knew

I walked away once for him to be free thought he'd find happiness far away from me but that sacrifice I made left an emptiness I didn't see

If he only knew the tears I cry at night. If he only knew he's the sunlight in my life if he only knew this aching in my soul if he only knew he's all I'd ever need

If he only knew the love that burns in me if he only knew

He'll never know no he'll just never know

If he only knew
