McEntire, Reba - If I Had Only Known Lyrics






If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away

If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known

  21. G.... G....

    Made me think of a friend, a beautiful song, we all need this song at times.

    I don't cry in front of others, but every once in a while I go upstairs to my late Mother's bedtoom and play this song, then cry my eyes out and emerge from it a stronger, better person.

    Death is so painful, so final, the sense of loss never leaves us.

    Love you Mum. x

    The ad at the beginning for "Stop Barking" (petgentlestore.com) is using fear tactics to make a sale. :-/ Dogs do not like high pitched tones like that of doorbells; my Rottie 'Justice' goes off on the vacuum cleaner! Just ask "them" to knock, or silence your bell & get an outdoor camera with the cash you'll save! If you're not convinced I'm correct, then read 'Animals In Translation' by the famous Temple Grandin & read about these behaviors in your dog & more animal facts that will help you to avoid buying 'bridges.'
    REBA is fierce forever!

    I just found this song. I lost my wife to cancer in August of 2018. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her. I took so many things for granted and now I have to live with the guilt of not doing more than I should have. If I had only known right......I miss her so much. Rest In Peace Tina. I will always love you.

  31. t.... H....

    I sang this at my father's funeral . He was murdered on 10/04/2012 ... He was my hero . I never thought I'd lose him .

    September 22, 2019 forever will change my life. I said goodbye to the love of my life .. my best friend. An amazing Dad to our 5 children. This song says it all on so many levels. I know God has a purpose and plan for my life as well as my children. It is how I keep getting up each day. Live life love BIG don’t waste life on the little things... LOVE! Life is often short..

    S.... R....

    so sorry Shirley, I am glad you had time with him!!

  38. b.... ....

  39. T.... C....

    I felt for awhile that Reba could hear me talk to her as she sang her song over u tube and well before I came to my sinces I have to say it was a great feeling.

  40. C.... O....

    Lost my hubby last Sunday. If I had only known.

    C.... O....

    So sorry for you. I lost my wife 3 weeks ago. No one can say anything to make it better. Again I'm so sorry for you and anyone who loses a spouse.

    C.... O....

    @Will G Thank you, and I am learning to take it slow, and not expect too much from myself yet. I hope you do the same.

    C.... O....

    @candaceorr Its been a month now. I just take it day by day. Night time is the worst. But we have to keep going. I know its cliche, but they would want us to I hope. God bless

  41. S.... B....

    For my childhood bestfriend who unfortunately struggled with some demons, and found comfort in the warmth of morphine, rather than reaching out to friends who loved her.

  42. T.... M....

    My best friend had a brain tumor, on 12-2-17 he had a seizure at 10 pm and by 10:45 he was gone. The days are not the same, my life is not the same, nothing will ever be the same and it still hurts so much.

  43. S.... a....

    I am so sorry for everybody's loss I hope everybody's pain eases at some point. From one human to another peace love.

  44. A.... l....

If I had only known at 2 in the morning would have been the last time I would have talked to him I would not have went to sleep. I would had stayed up and I beat myself up each and every day since that moment I found him. I wish I could hear his voice again. Rest in peace my love until we meet again. I love you.
