I am compelled to write songs badly, like this attempted love song, based on another writer's wishes.

Had Only Known



Refrain


Through all this time, if I had only known,

you were the one, the only one for me.

I would've done things much differently.

Done things so much differently.


Remember the time when we first met?

At that freshman dance under the stars?

You melted into me as if we were mated.

Though you were from Venus and I from Mars.


(Refrain)


Lost in each other, those were the days,

when we were as free as the skies above,

never saw any error in our carefree ways.

When we wasted our education for love.


(Refrain)


But the seeds of our love were planted.

Soon, we were faced with a grim choice:

leave school and raise our child,

or let him go without hearing his voice.


(Refrain)


We married and had more children,

but there was always that regret.

It led to our marriage dissolving,

a time I will never, ever, forget.


(Refrain)


Through the years there were other loves,

some memorable and some not.

But I always thought of you, my dear, 

through all that time, I never forgot.


(Refrain)

Nothing bad about this song, Ron. Beautifully penned with deep emotion.

That was poignant. Everybody has regrets, but this one is deeply felt. What is that saying? "If I had known what I ought to have known, I'd never have did what I done." This is good writing because we feel what you feel.

This one made me smile and I took my own little trip down memory lane. Reminding me of the things we do for love. You describe it wonderfully.

How well I remember my freshman year in high school, when I got my first kiss. I was instantly in love. Come August 19, we will have been married 55 years. Your song reminds me of “Young Love” sung by Sonny James. It was one of my favorites. Here’s a few of the words:

Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion
Young love (young love), our love (first love)
We share with deep emotion

You did a fine job here, Ron.

This is really good Ron…and a sad reflection
of what often happens to a special love…
Heartfelt words…

Love this, my friend. Remembrances might be happy or sad, but the worst remembrances are of the one we let get away....Me too!

A sad but very "real" theme is expressed via your song, Ron. Be well, friend.
