“If Only”
By: Rosalyn Levine
October 25, 1985
If Only I were young again
Instead of old and gray.
If Only I knew way back then
What I know today.
If Only all life’s lessons
I learned from the start.
It could have been so easy
If Only I were born that smart.
If Only I were able to
Right my every wrong
I know ‘tis but a fable
For no one lives that long.
If Only inner beauty
I was wise enough to see.
If Only I knew good things
Are absolutely free.
Like the glory of sunset,
As it fades into the sky.
Or the colors of a rainbow,
And the pretty birds that fly.
If Only I could capture all the
Rapture of first love
And enjoy all the wonder of
The stars above.
If Only I’d know enough to
Love the simple things.
My life could have been richer,
For so much joy it brings.
But now that I am old.
I’ll try not to forget
To never say “If Only”
‘cause it isn’t over yet.
