If I Had Known If I had known that you were leaving
I would have held you a moment more
I would have told you how much I loved you
Before you left to walk out the door

If I had known that you were leaving
Never again to see your sweet smile
I would have traced your lips with my fingers
To keep in my memory more than awhile

If I had known that you were leaving
Never again to look on your face
I would have showered your brow with my kisses
Then gladly have gone in your place

Although I didn't know you were leaving
I pray in my heart you will know
While I walk through this world without you
Just how much I loved you so
