Lyrics: Glenn Slater/Alan Menken
Music: Glenn Slater/Alan Menken
If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
What I wish I could convey
It's in my ev'ry glance
My heart's an open book
You'd see it all at once
If only you would look
If only you could glimpse
The feeling that I feel
If only you would notice
What I'm dying to reveal
The dreams I can't declare
The needs I can't deny
You'd understand them all
If only you would try
All my secrets you would learn them
All my longings you'd return them
Then the silence would be broken
Not a word would need be spoken
What is it about her
That's so wonderfully impossibly familiar
Why do I feel dizzy
In a way I've only felt but once before
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore
But that voice
If only it were true
If only for a while
Ah that voice
If only you would notice
How I ache behind my smile
Where's that voice
I guess you never will
I guess it doesn't show
But if I never find a way to tell you so
Oh what I would give
If only you could know
If only
