(Dolly Parton)

The word "If", just two tiny letters 
Says so much for something so small 
The biggest little word in existence; 
Never answers, just questions us all 

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen 
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam 
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely 
If only, if only, if only 

But looking back now I see clearly 
With my twenty-twenty hindsight 
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly, 
'Cause you could be in my arms tonight 

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen 
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam 
How I let you go, I swear is beyond me 
But if only; ah, if only; oh, if only 

I could start over, if I could go back 
Have the power to change things 
Then I would do that 
But I listened to others like a fool, 
Oh, shame on me 

But if only you would just come back 
If only, dare I even ask 
Oh, if only
