"If Only You'd Love Me"

Words and music by Rick Richardson

I've been havin' second thoughts, thinkin' about me and you
If'n we chose the right course, maybe our love was true
Maybe we didn't have to fall, and maybe this ain't the end

I'm so lonely with you gone, late at night I could cry
I just lay here and pray for dawn, don't know how I'll get by
Searchin' for the right words to say, and wondrin' how to begin

If only you'd love me the way I once knew, I know I'd forget all my pain
If only you'd love me the sky would be blue, the sun would erase all the rain
If only you'd love me the way you used to, I know that my heart it would mend
If only you'd love me, if only you'd love me, if only you'd love me again

LEAD

Sometimes life ain't as cold as it seems, and steadfast rules they will bend

I've been havin' second thoughts, thinkin' about me and you
If'n we chose the right course, maybe our love is true
Maybe we didn't have to fall, and maybe this ain't the end

If only you'd love me the way I once knew, I know I'd forget all my pain
If only you'd love me the sky would be blue, the sun would erase all the rain
If only you'd love me the way you used to, I know that my heart it would mend
If only you'd love me, if only you'd love me, if only you'd love me again

If only you'd love me the way I once knew, I know I'd forget all my pain
If only you'd love me the sky would be blue, the sun would erase all the rain
If only you'd love me the way you used to, I know that my heart it would mend
If only you'd love me, if only you'd love me, if only you'd love me again.
